1 He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And there was a man named Zacchae’us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. 4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchae’us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it they all murmured, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 And Zacchae’us stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.”
匝凱來了個一百八十度轉變，他以行動接受基督給他的救恩。
是什麼令匝凱改變？在這裡，給了我們一個十分廣闊的思考空間。但唯一使我們明白的，一定與耶穌有關，耶穌深深地吸引了匝凱，促使他由衷地配合行動，作出愛德的行為。
救恩來到匝凱的家，耶穌基督正是這「救恩」，給匝凱一家帶來新希望與回轉。將臨期正是準備耶穌來臨的節期，我們是否熱情地、覺醒地等待耶穌？祂就是我們每一家的救恩，我們如何善待這救恩？
