Zacchaeus wanted to see for himself who Jesus is; now we see him through his Word, in
the sacraments, and in his incarnational work in everyday life. Jesus calls us down from our high places because we cannot attain salvation on our own, no matter how high we climb. We are called down to earth so that Christ can take care of what we cannot. He takes our place so that we can serve others in his name; he came down to seek and to save the lost!
