Tim Keller | January 19, 1997
If you want to get the gist of who Jesus is, you have to look at encounters Jesus had with individuals. The gospels are filled with encounters Jesus has with all sorts of people.
In Luke 19, we get to a guy named Zacchaeus, and we’re told two things about him: that he’s a chief tax collector and that he’s wealthy.
This teaches us two different and important things: 1) anyone can approach Jesus, but 2) money is always an issue when coming to Jesus.
