1. What it says
What does Zacchaeus do to see Jesus, what does Jesus say to him, and what does Zacchaeus promise afterward? (vv. 2-8)
2. What it means
The people grumble because Jesus is staying with a sinner. What does Jesus answer about why he came? (vv. 7-10)
3. How I live it
Zacchaeus welcomed Jesus with joy and changed how he used his money. What could you change in how you use what you have?
