Excerpts from the lesson: 'Zacchaeus could hardly believe his ears. Jesus knew his name! He not only knew his name, but he spoke his name the way it was intended to sound. Jesus spoke to him like he was important, like he was pure and innocent and righteous. Jesus saw Zacchaeus the way he was supposed to be. Jesus knew Zacchaeus before he every met him. He knew what Zacchaeus needed, and he knows your name and what you need.
He cares about you. The Bible says that God knew you before you were ever born. He loves you and made you special. He has a plan for your life.
He wants to come live with you. He is calling your name. All you have to do is invite him in. It says in John 14:23, 'Jesus replied, 'If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.'

Color the Zacchaeus picture and tape it to the bulletin board. Cover the picture with a leaf. Tape the rest of the leaves on the tree. Write one word of the Bible verse on separate pieces of sticky notepaper and hide them under the leaves. Tell your children that Jesus knew exactly where Zacchaeus was all the time and he knew his name, but we don't know where Zacchaeus is. He is hidden behind one of the leaves on the tree. The children will take turns turning over the leaves one at a time to try and find Zacchaeus.
If they pick one of the leaves with a word, they get to help figure out what the Bible verse says. Stick the word papers up on the wall as the children find them. Have the children that find the word papers try to place them in order. If you have very young children, just place them in the correct order the read the words displayed each time a child finds a new word paper. The child who finds Zacchaeus wins. If you haven't found all the words before Zacchaeus has been found, you can hide him again under a different leaf and keep playing.
