The sermon is from Luke 19:1-10 – “The Sight from the Sycamore Tree”. “… he was seeking to see who Jesus was …. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:3 & 10

Who sought who? Did Zacchaeus first seek Christ? Or did Christ first seek him? Initially, we might say that Zacchaeus sought Christ first. After all, he ran to get ahead of the crowd and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see the Lord Jesus. But Jesus explains the whole turn of events like this – “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Who is right? An anonymous hymn writer penned these words which help to answer our question – “I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me; it was not I that found, O Savior true; no, I was found of thee.” (Trinity Hymnal – #466)
