"Zacchaeus was a wee, little man, and a wee little man was he.  He climbed up in a sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see!" 

Do you remember singing that song as a child?  Maybe you sang it recently with your children.  Well, there's more to the story of Zacchaeus than the fact that he was "a wee, little man" who "climbed up in a sycamore tree" to see Jesus.  In Luke 19 (NIV), we read that Zacchaeus was "a chief tax collector" (v. 2) and that his neighbors called him a "sinner" (v. 7).  In his line of work, he evidently had wronged a lot of people.  But after encountering Jesus, Zacchaeus said, "If I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount" (v. 8).  Now that's repentance!

On today's Footsteps, TWR's Global Director for Men's Ministry, Lonnie Berger, relays a contemporary story of sin, forgiveness, and repentance.  Give it a listen.
