FAITH QUEST Zacchaeus PRAISING PUPPETS Scripture: Luke 19:1-10 Memory Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (NRSV) Concepts: • God loves and forgives us no matter what mistakes we have made. • When we are sorry, we want to make up for the things we have done wrong. Objectives: This workshop will focus on helping children understand sin, repentance and forgiveness: we all make mistakes and sin; after we sin, if we love God, we will be sorry and will want to make up for what we have done; and God forgives us. God loves us even though we are sinners and forgives us because of that love.

Procedure: Welcome and Introductions: • Greet the children and introduce yourself. Wear your nametag. • Tell the children that today they will use the puppets to learn about sin, being sorry about sinning and being forgiven for sinning.

Bible Story: Plan to spend about 10 minutes on the Bible story before going to the puppets. For the first two weeks of the lesson, you will need to read the story to the class. After that you may still read the story or jump directly to the discussion. The Faith Quest curriculum is based on the CEV Bible, so that version is included here.

You can share some basic Bible facts before reading the story: the story comes from the Bible, the Bible is God’s Word, and the story is from the book of the Bible called Luke. Luke is one of the Gospels, which is the Good News about Jesus Christ, our savior. Luke 19:1-10 Jesus was going through Jericho, where a man named Zacchaeus lived. He was in charge of collecting taxes and was very rich.

Jesus was heading his way, and Zacchaeus wanted to see what he was like. But Zacchaeus was a short man and could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree. When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down! I want to stay with you today.” Zacchaeus hurried down and gladly welcomed Jesus. Everyone who saw this started grumbling, “This man Zacchaeus is a sinner! And Jesus is going home to eat with him.” Later that day Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “I will give half of my property to the poor.

And I will now pay back four times as much to everyone I have ever cheated.” Jesus said to Zacchaeus, “Today you and your family have been saved, because you are a true son of Abraham. The Son of Man came to look for and to save people who are lost.” (CEV) Discussion Zacchaeus had to climb a tree to see Jesus. Why do you think he went to so much trouble? (Encourage controlled discussion or guessing.) Maybe God put an urge in Zacchaeus’ heart to go see Jesus. Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree.

The sycamore trees of this area were large, maybe 30 or 40 feet tall. They had a short trunk and spreading branches, so it would have been a good climbing tree. Just imagine how that looked!

Jesus stopped under the tree and called up to Zacchaeus by name. How do you think Jesus knew Zacchaeus’ name and that he was up in the tree? God knows everything about everybody. Zacchaeus gladly welcomed Jesus to his home, so we know that Zacchaeus was happy to get to know Jesus. Would you be happy if Jesus found you and asked to come to your house? The crowd is not happy about Jesus eating with Zacchaeus. The crowd says that Zacchaeus is a sinner.

Does that make him any different from anyone else? No, we are all sinners (all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 ). What does Zacchaeus do to make up for the bad things (or sins) that he has done? Gives half his property to the poor, pays back four times what he has cheated people. From this we know that Zacchaeus had cheated people when he collected taxes from them.

The crowd probably didn’t like Zacchaeus because he was dishonest. But he was sorry and decided to pay back much more than he had taken. Does anyone know what this is called when you do something to make up for sins? Repentance is more than just being sorry for what you have done. It also means you’ll try to change your behavior and you will do something to make up for whatever bad thing you have done.
