Title: Liberty & Justice For All

A Portrait Of Zacchaeus

1. A Chief Tax Collector - v. 2

2. Rich - v. 2

3. Small of Stature (Character vs. Size) - v. 3

4. Resourceful - v. 4

5. Hospitable - v. 5-6

6. Disrespected - v. 7

7. Generous - v. 8

8. Honest - v. 9

9. Jewish - v. 9

Some Principles From Jesus:

Principle #1 - The ministry model of Jesus was always missional!

Principle #2 - The ministry model of Jesus was indiscriminate!

Principle #3 - Jesus is always full of surprises!

Principle #4 - Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought...

Principle #5 - Authentic righteousness is confirmed by character and actions!

Three Admonitions:

1. Put your reputation at risk to be a friend to sinners… you’ll earn the right to be heard.

2. Deal with your own sin & allow the Holy Spirit to do His job of convicting others of theirs.

3. Share a meal with a person unlike you – maybe you can learn something about them from them.
