Zacchaeus probably became rich by cheating people, something tax collectors were known for in those days. But Zacchaeus met Jesus and he became a new man. He had faith in Jesus power and love.
Zacchaeus promised to pay back even- more than he had taken- those he had cheated. But the crowd didn't like this. They needed new hearts too, but they didn't realize it.
Real faith is not a matter of simply believing in and loving Jesus. It involves turning from old ways that go against God's commands and starting a new life. Real faith acts to make things right again.
