THE STORY OF ZACCHAEUS
THE STORY OF ZACCHAEUS
by Bernard Atkinson
THE STORY OF ZACCHAEUS Orchid House Bible Story Time Yes, I know I’m short, knee high to a donkey you might say. Everybody looks down on me - in both senses of the word. Over the years I got used to people looking down on me, they grew taller. I didn’t. But it was the way I was…
We play at church, one long charade
We play at church, one long charade
by Andrew Pratt
1 We play at church, one long charade, a trite religious game, and all the time the world goes by, Christ dies again in vain. 2 The down and out wish for our tithes, the homeless plead and pray, while we enact our sullen rite, our crass religious play. 3…
Small is beautiful
Small is beautiful
by Marjorie Dobson
Bible reflection: Small is beautiful! Luke 19: 1-10 You may have noticed that I’m quite small really. Vertically challenged is how they phrase it today! That’s why I’m looking down at you, but I actually feel as if I’m peering over the top of things in order to see you. In some p…
Luke for Everyone - The Calling of Zacchaeus
Luke for Everyone - The Calling of Zacchaeus
by SPCK - N T Wright
The Calling of Zacchaeus Luke 19.1-10 Sunday schools love Zacchaeus. At least, they love to act out his story and sing about him. The little man who climbs up a tree to see Jesus provides one of the most vivid short stories in the whole Bible. Children can identify with Zacchaeus…

Lectionary Reflection Year C - The Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C
by SPCK - Jane Williams
The Fourth Sunday Before Advent Isaiah 1.10–18 2 Thessalonians 1.1–12 Luke 19.1–10 The temptation with today’s three readings is to go straight for the story of Zacchaeus. It’s warm, vivid and has a happy ending. But the other two readings remind us that Zacchaeus’ choice is not …

Twelve Months of Sunday year c - The Fourth Sunday Before Advent Year C
by SPCK - N T Wright
The Fourth Sunday Before Advent Isaiah 1.10–18 2 Thessalonians 1.1–12 Luke 19.1–10 Luke cuts Zacchaeus even more down to size, describing him with affected pomposity (‘he was a chief tax-collector! He was rich!’) and then pointing out that he was also a bit too small for his own …

Story/Reflection-Zacchaeus
by Sue Brown
Zacchaeus remembers. Zacchaeus For a child it’s always hard being different: too fat, too thin, too tall or, like me, too small. The deep hurt of rejection – “not you, you can’t play with us, you’re not big enough” – stays with you somewhere deep down, no longer thought of, but…

Puppet Sketch-Milestones Journeys
by Paul Welch
Puppet talk for one puppet about meeting someone special. Milestone Journeys Hi, a couple of years ago I was on a journey this person called Sarah came across my path. So I said, ‘Oi you get off my path’. I didn’t really! You see this person who I met was the most wonderful perso…
Gazing on the Gospels Year C - The Fourth Sunday before Advent Year C
Gazing on the Gospels Year C - The Fourth Sunday before Advent Year C
by SPCK - Judith Dimond
The Fourth Sunday before Advent Luke 19: 1-10 Gaze on this furtive man, shinning up the tree. It is hardly dignified behaviour for such a well-off person. We are told Zacchaeus was short, so perhaps he knew that peering over the top of others’ heads was not going to get him a vie…

LWPT Meditations - Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C
by Susan Thorne
Meditation – 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Yr C Luke 19:1-10 Whenever I encounter the story of Zacchaeus I feel like a parrot; not because I want to join Zacchaeus in his sycamore-fig tree, but because – parrot-like – I always say the same thing. I talk about grace.. Created by S…

Monologue/drama: Zack
Monologue/drama: Zack
by Andrew Pratt
Monologue/drama: Zack I suppose you think I'm short? Thoughts like that can hurt, you know. If I was any shorter my feet wouldn't touch the ground. Which, come to think of it, is a bit academic, me stuck up in this tree like this. Yes, stuck up a tree. Why? All right, because I'm…

Zacc
by Paul Glass
Zacchaeus shares his memories Okay - let’s get this over and done with right at the very beginning. I’m small - alright? Of limited stature, short. I get it. I’ve been that way since I was a child. ‘Your Zacchaeus, he’s a bit well…small isn’t he?’ That’s what mum’s friends would …
