Bible Text: LUKE 19:1-10 | Preacher: Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Crawford | Series: Unraveled | This morning at WPC, worship focuses on radical unraveling of vocation through exploring the story of Zacchaeus the wealthy tax collector in LUKE 19:1-10. Zacchaeus perpetuates and profits from an economic system that robs and defrauds those on the bottom to benefit those on the top. He is a wealthy tax collector, which means he is not welcomed or wanted by most. Jesus flips the script by inviting Zacchaeus to offer him hospitality, which unravels the crowd’s expectations since they deem Zacchaeus a sinner and an unworthy host. Jesus invites Zacchaeus into community. Jesus invites Zacchaeus to belong. Zacchaeus responds with generosity, vowing to share his resources equitably. Zacchaeus shows us a holy and joyful unraveling.
