Have you ever wished that someone could look past all the exterior things of your life and see you as you really are? Luke 19 tells a wonderful story about a man named Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing through Jericho. He sincerely desired to see Jesus, but Zacchaeus was a short man. He saw a sycamore tree, and decided to climb it. 

The sycamore tree had two possible advantages for Zacchaeus. The first, of course, was height. It gave Zacchaeus the view of Christ he hoped for. Secondly ,hidden among the large leaves of a sycamore tree, perhaps Zacchaeus thought he could see Jesus without being seen. Perhaps the possibility of anonymity was comforting to Zacchaeus. If so, he wasn’t left in his comfort zone for long. When Jesus passed beneath Zacchaeus’s hiding place, he stopped and called up to him, saying: 

“Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.”

This image is a reminder that Christ truly does see us, just as we are, even when we are hidden in a tree.
