This is the original text of: The Conversion of Zacchaeus, by Junchol Lee
Description:
Zacchaeus was the chief tax-collector and thus a very rich man. For this reason, the Jews regarded him as a sinner. Jesus decided to stay at his house, and even proclaimed, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham." What does Jesus mean by this salvation? And, how should we relate to the very truth that Jesus obviously loves to reach out to the people who are classified as "sinners" in their own communities?
