And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord, behold Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, this day is salvation, come to this house. So we know that Jesus, that this man was saved, it says for as much as he is also a son of Abraham, for the son of man has come to seek and save that which was lost. So what was so great about what Zacchaeus did? Well, being saved is a great thing. Being saved is something God commands us to do in the Bible. Now, we're not forced to believe, we're not forced to get saved, but he does command us to be saved. Acts 17, verse 30, if you wanna turn over there real quickly, Acts 17, verse 30. So what was the great thing he did? Well, he got saved, and also he said, he repented of his sins. But it was after he got saved, okay? After he got saved, but what did he do? He said, I'm gonna give half of everything I have to the poor. And then he says, anybody I ripped off, I'm gonna pay them back fourfold. Because that's what the Bible says, you're supposed to pay people back that you steal from. So he got right, not only did he get saved, but he also immediately followed Jesus, he immediately started doing good works. Acts 17, verse 30 says, and the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Now, I'm not saying that he repented of his sins to be saved, he repented and believed, okay? He believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, and then it says he received him, right? They that gladly received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. That's what the Bible says in John 1-12. So, it says, because, verse 31, he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained whereof, he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. So God commands people to be saved, what does Achias do? He got saved, he did the right thing, didn't he? And he's gonna be in heaven someday, we're gonna see how short he really was. I mean, because it says, you know, he was of short stature, right? He's so short he couldn't see over the crowd, so he had to climb up into a tree. But, you know, so when we're short, when we're short of stature, it doesn't mean you can't do great things for God, because, look, he is documented forever in the Bible, he's in the word of God, and we have that great story of his faith, and the fact that he, and then the Lord went and stayed the night at his house. Who here right now would let Jesus come over and stay the night at their house? Right now, like, you know what your house looked like before you left, right?
