What happensPermalink
Jesus eats with Zaccheus, a corrupt tax collector who promises to make good. Jesus tells the parable of the minas (smaller than talents). He enters Jerusalem on a colt, cheered on by crowds. He cleanses the Temple of corrupt merchants.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus came to save the lost, demonstrated clearly by His dinner with Zaccheus. His entry mirrors the entry of Davidic kings, clearly claiming that position, explaining the cheering crowds who had looked for such a king for centuries.
Key versePermalink
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
