A message from the series “And Now for Some Good News.” We all experience the very real longing for security and significance, but how can we reconcile that with Jesus’ call to deny ourselves, hold riches lightly, and become the servant of all? While the disciples consider the rich to be blessed, and argue over which of them is the greatest, Jesus holds up the example of a little child as the only way to receive the kingdom.

The story of Zacchaeus is a model for how Jesus’ way includes everyone. This new community is diverse and at times uncomfortable. But love is greater than comfort and is able to bring us all together no matter how different we are. This new community is nothing short of a redefinition of what it means to be family.
