Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was one of the most influential Jews in the Roman tax-collecting business, and he had become very rich. He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowds. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree beside the road, so he could watch from there.
Luke 19:1-4

Zacchaeus “was too short to see over the crowds.”
Let’s not be found guilty of blocking a seeker who is trying “to get a look at Jesus.” They may be too poor … too dirty … too different … too young … too old … too ________ (anything, you fill in your hang up) … For Jesus they are only too lost.
“…I, the Son of Man, have come to seek and save those like him who are lost.” – Luke 19:10
