For a public, famous, and requested person like Jesus to cross the town might have been really hard and He crossed it walking, Luke 19.1 says. As Jesus walked, the crowd got bigger and bigger and more people joined the hike, but Jesus had a goal, He knew that maybe the biggest sinner of that place, which was Zacchaeus, wished to see Him. Jesus knows our very heart, our thoughts and when someone makes Jesus his or her aim, he or she really wants to be with Him, see Him in his or her life, Jesus, even if He needs to cross the city or the whole world, He finds a way to be close to this person, to pass by him or her. That`s the way it was with the blind man from Jericho, with the centurion, with the widow of Nain and with Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was like the General Federal Income Officer, but the difference was that tax wasn`t regulated according to the law or pre-set. They worked according to the people who collected income. Zaccheus was the one who determined how much they had to pay, that's the reason why everyone hated him. But his desire to find God changed his history. A person may not be well seen by society, a person might live on the edge, but if he or she gives the right value to Jesus, He changes his or her history. There was no way to Zacchaeus, but he heard that Jesus was going through that town and he wished to meet Jesus. What you have inside you will make Jesus get into your life and change your history, in other words, your desire to be with Him, the desire to serve and please Him, your effort to find, your resignation, your delivery. For God, there is no "time of home" or any other distinction, if you seek God from the heart, and regard Him above all else He makes a difference in your life. If your desire is to see Jesus, you'll see. Zacchaeus left everything apart and went to see Jesus. He waited for God's mercy in his life. Jesus knows the ones who are interested in Him. Zacchaeus did not ask for a miracle. The only project of Zacchaeus was getting to meet Jesus. That's what you should do, you ahould invest in your relationship with God.

God covers the one who decides to get closer to Him. Never give it up, invest in your relationship with Jesus, He changes your history. Zacchaeus did what he could to get closer to Him and see Jesus. Note that Jesus called Zacchaeus by his name because He knows every inhabitant on this planet, He knows us by our name.

I'm sure Zacchaeus got very excited. He came down and hugged Jesus. The ones, who watched it murmured against Jesus, blabbed He was in the house of a sinner. In this message, Jesus warns no matter how sinful someone might be, if you have the desire to receive Him, He changes your history. Jesus went to Zacchaeus` house, and during dinner Zacchaeus declared that he would donate half of his possessions to the poor ones and he would return what he had defrauded four times more while charging taxes, what he had stolen. He held that because it was his god, but when he met Jesus, if he stripped himself economically and began to trust Jesus. Those who know Jesus learn to trust only in Jesus. Get close to Him; get to know Him better, trust the Lord. Tell Him how much you need Him in your life; make your relationship with the Lord be your priority. He will make a difference.
