Zacchaeus: Called and Loved (Luke 19:1–10)
In this engaging children’s lesson, kids discover a powerful truth from the story of Zacchaeus: Jesus sees us, loves us, calls us by name, and changes our lives.
When Jesus walked through Jericho, He stopped, looked up into a tree, and called Zacchaeus by name. In the same way, children learn that they are not invisible or forgotten. Jesus knows them personally and loves them deeply.
Through interactive teaching, fun activities, and practical illustrations, this lesson helps children understand that they don’t have to earn God’s love — Jesus loved them first. When we meet Jesus, our hearts begin to change from the inside out.
