Luke 19:1-10
Jesus’ invitation to Zacchaeus is a radical act of inclusion that transforms lives. This sermon calls us to create spaces at our own tables: places of welcome, healing, and redemption. Theologically, Christ’s invitation shows us the power of unconditional love that transcends social and cultural boundaries. Psychologically, creating spaces for others to belong disrupts feelings of isolation and shame, fostering connection and healing. This week’s message challenges us to open our lives and our communities to those who are often excluded and allows God’s transformative love to flow through our actions.
