Summary
When you think about any time we hear a story, we read a story, we identify with one of the people whether it is fiction or non-fiction is in the case of the hiding place or in the case of scripture. So this crowd, this group of Jesus followers, of disciples of Jesus, they're the ones that are worthy to be with Jesus. But when the sinner comes to know Jesus, when Jesus calls the sinner to himself, we are right back with this crowd. People gave him their money, not because they wanted to, but because of who he was and the position that he held and here he is climbing a tree just to get a glimpse of Jesus. And it's not because Jesus says, come down here and I'm going to tell you exactly what you must do. We are worthy to be seen by the Father because Jesus Christ has deemed every single one of us right and worthy through and by His blood.
