Day 1- 01 THE STORY
Back in the time when Jesus lived, people did not like tax collectors. Tax collectors were people’s enemy in those days. A Tax Collector would collect more than enough money for the government and keep some for themselves. They were stealing money from people and getting rich. This is a true story of a man who did bad things but decided to turn to Jesus.
Read Luke 19:1-8
Did Jesus ignore Zaccheus because he did bad things? What did Jesus do?
Did Zaccheus realize what he did wrong? What did Zaccheus do to make it right?
Day 2- 02 THE WITNESS
Sometimes, we don’t like it when good things happen to bad people. Jesus wants people who do bad things to change, and we need to care about them as much as He does.
Read Luke 19:1-8
How did the people respond when they saw that Jesus was going to spend time with Zaccheus? Should you want people who do bad things to know Jesus?

Why do you think God asks you to pray for your enemies?
