"When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.'" Luke 19:5-6

Zacchaeus was a tax collector, a career that was notorious for being crooked. Many tax collectors used their authority to take advantage of people and extort money from them. Jesus, though, didn't let that stop him from going to Zacchaeus's house for a meal. And it shocked the religious people of the day.

Zacchaeus had come to see Jesus. And Jesus revealed himself to Zacchaeus, despite the disapproval of the religious elite. And in doing so, Jesus mirrored God's desire to reveal himself to man.

God knows we aren't perfect. Yet, he still wants us to have an intimate relationship with him. And he provided the way for that to happen.

Jesus is the only way to God. God did not send Jesus to turn people away; he sent Jesus to draw people near. And God isn't the one hiding. It is us who thinks we can hide from him. But God knows right where you are and is waiting to reveal himself to you.
