Why the sycamore-fig tree?
Luke 19
Zacchaeus climbed a tree which had dense foliage, perfect for hiding from people and from Jesus.
But Jesus knows all the hiding places.
Zacchaeus had a perfect view to see who Jesus was. They had never met.
But Jesus already knew his name.
The sycamore tree has low lying branches perfect for children to climb. The wealthy chief tax collector became a child.
But Jesus particularly transforms adults with a child-like curiosity.
At this moment, as you read this …
He knows where you are.
He knows who you are.
Approach Him as a child.
