Today we read the story of Zacchaeus, a despised tax collector, whose curiosity to see Jesus made him climb a tree from where he received a life-changing directive. (Lk 19:1-10) Not only did he see Jesus, but later dined with him in his own home and so moved, made major revisions in his dealings with others. What power lies in contact with Jesus. We don't have to climb a tree, but we can ask Jesus to come into our homes, our hearts and transform our behavior to match as much as possible the re-formation of Zacchaeus. He wasn't afraid of what others thought, as evidence by his perch in the tree; neither was he ashamed to admit his bad behavior and rectify it. If he could do it, why can't you and I?
