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

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.
