<strong>Luke</strong> <strong>19</strong>:<strong>10</strong><br />
“…For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”<br />

from eternal separation from God<br />

o Tell the child, “I have lost ______, and it will be destroyed if you don’t find<br />
it”<br />
o The class says the verse<br />
o The child, pretending to be Jesus, seeks and finds the lost object<br />
o Repeat, giving each child a chance to look for the lost object
<strong>ACTIVITIES</strong><br />
• Application<br />
o <strong>Zacchaeus</strong> did two specific things. He received Jesus into his house, and<br />
he stopped doing what he knew was wrong and tried to make it right<br />
o Jesus is asking to come into each of our lives. We need to receive Him<br />
and to turn away from what we know is wrong<br />
o Give the children an opportunity to receive Jesus as their Savior<br />
• Color<br />

o Choose children to play Jesus, <strong>Zacchaeus</strong>, and the crowd<br />
o Help the children act out the story as you retell it. Have <strong>Zacchaeus</strong> stand<br />
on the chair when he climbs the tree<br />
• Song<br />
“<strong>Zacchaeus</strong> was a wee little man,<br />
And a wee little man was he.<br />
He climbed up in a sycamore tree,<br />
For the Lord he wanted to see.<br />
And as the Savior passed that way,<br />
He looked up in the tree.<br />
And He said, ‘<strong>Zacchaeus</strong>, you come down!<br />
For I’m going to your house today,<br />
For I’m going to your house today.’”<br />
