DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How does the big-picture of Luke bring clarity and depth to the story of Zacchaeus?
What are some other favorite familiar stories that you will revisit in search of fresh and next-level learning?
Is there a reason you are intentionally not trying to see Jesus right now? If so, what are the circumstances? Why are you avoiding him?
What are some ways you regularly try to “see” Jesus (that is, be with him, learn about him, experience him)?
Who are the Zacchaeuses in your life — people (or groups) who you maybe avoid or look down on? What are some ways (even unintentional) that you make it difficult for that person to see Jesus?
What is one way you can help other people see Jesus?
Zacchaeus was changed in deep ways. His relationship with money — a centerpiece of his work and life — was completely turned upside down and inside out according to Luke 19:8. What are some ways that Jesus has changed you at your deepest core? What are some ways the you sense him changing you right now? What are some things in your life in need of change that you’ve not yet surrendered to him?
