Here’s what we learn about Jesus at this meal…

Fact #1: Jesus believes that no one is insignificant

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” ⁶ So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. ⁷ All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” Luke 19:5-7

Fact #2: Jesus always had time to talk

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. Luke 19:1

Fact #3: For Jesus mission is the priority.

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:9-10

Here’s what Jesus wants us to learn from this meal…
