Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus
“Chris is excited about his upcoming baptism; so much so that he forgets to show up at Joy’s volunteer event. Superbook whisks them back to meet a tax collector named Zacchaeus in ancient Jericho. The kids are amazed to watch the transformation of a sinner like Zacchaeus when he meets Jesus. Joy sees that Jesus came to seek and save the lost–including herself! Joy realizes that she also needs to accept Jesus as her Savior–just as Zacchaeus did and begins to understand why Chris is so excited about being baptized. Joy prays to receive Jesus and then shares the good news with her parents. ”
