Everyone deserves a chance

Christians believe the Bible shows us how we should treat others.

One Bible account that demonstrates this is the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector.

People did not like Zacchaeus because he took money from them.

He was rich and they thought he was greedy.

Jesus notices Zacchaeus

One day Jesus came to town and people gathered to hear what he had to say.

Zacchaeus was very small, so he climbed a tree to see better.

Jesus spotted him, called him down and said that he would come to his house that very day.

The people were cross that Jesus was going to spend time with someone like Zacchaeus.

Zacchaeus leads a better life

Zacchaeus was very sorry for his behaviour and told Jesus that he would pay back all the money he had taken.

Jesus forgave him.

Christians believe that everyone is unique and valuable to God.

Jesus saw that Zacchaeus was just as important as everyone else, so he spent time with him and taught him about being kind.

Zacchaeus was then able to lead a better life and treat others the way God wanted him to.
