Answer:
Explanation:
The crowd did not approve of Jesus' controversial action. Zacchaeus showed he was willing to change by offering half of his belongings to the poor and paying back four times as much to anyone he had cheated. This amount was what the Old Testament law demanded as a repayment for dishonesty.
Jesus knew the desires of Zacchaeus' heart, and knew that he really would change – and He knows the same of us too. If we meet someone who we previously thought could not be saved, and they show proof of true repentance and salvation, we should be quick to accept them on the evidence of their changed life.
