Seeking the Lost
Zaccheus was a rich man who was lost. But he knew one thing: he wanted to see who Jesus was, and when he sought Jesus, He found that God was pursuing him. Alistair Begg explains that in the story of Zaccheus we see the essence of Christmas. This Jesus is Immanuel, God with us, and he has come “to save his people from their sins.” The story of Christmas is the story of God giving himself to seek and save helpless sinners, and he still calls out today to all who will acknowledge their need.
