Today's gospel tells the story of Zacchaeus transformation to a life of generosity. Pastor Jonathan tells us that Zacchaeus, when Jesus first meets him, is much like what our current society has become in recent years: isolationist and individualistic. This focus on self, rather than community has led both to the decline in the church and the rise of many of the societal ills we see. Just as Zacchaeus was transformed into a better person by letting go of his isolationism, we can transform our world by helping and caring for each other.
