We’ve all seen “before and after” pictures of someone who has had a makeover. As Jesus walks closer to the cross, he comes across a little guy named Zacchaeus who is perched in a tree. In this account, Zack encounters Jesus in a way that radically transforms his life – his “before” picture is nothing at all like the new and improved one! Are you looking for change in your life?
