"He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way." -Luke 19:3-4

I try tiptoeing, jumping up and down, or even moving my head to find a gap between people's shoulders just to catch a glimpse of what is happening. All too often, I give up; stand amongst the crowd and see nothing. Zacchaeus, however, did not let his height limit what his desire to see Jesus. He found solutions to overcome his barriers and let go of his dignity by climbing up a tree. How far would I go to simply see Jesus?

Seeing Jesus is worth overcoming every hurdle.
