INTRO: So what can we gain from the story of Zachaeus? Just a little short guy that climbed up a tree? No much more than that it is an example of exactly what God wants to give us spiritually in our lives!!!!

1. Jesus wants to visit us
1. Has He entered your life?
2. Is He passing through? 
   
   
2. There is no one too mean/rich/physically limited/etc. to know Christ
1. As far as Christ is concerned
2. What about you? Do you consider yourself too mean? Rich? Poor? Short? Etc. 
   
   
3. Many "things" can prevent our "seeing/knowing" Jesus
1. Where we live
2. Our job(Chief of publicans)
3. Our money
4. Our friends
5. Our goals
6. OURSELF!!!!
4. The opportunity to "see" Jesus is NOW
1. Why wait?
2. Why look elsewhere?
3. Why worry?
4. Why not now? 
   
   
5. Jesus desires/demands more than a "glimpse" in our lives
1. He does not want part-time Christians
2. He does not want half-hearted Christians
3. He does not want half dedicated Christians
4. He does not want our left-overs! 
   
   
6. Jesus foresees and wants the kind of dedication from you that Zachaeus had.
1. His money
2. His actions/deeds
3. His thoughts/plans/goals
4. His life 
   
   
7. Is He seeking you?
