LUKE 19:1-10

Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.' "

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."

Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

[left that other site]

“39” looks EXACTLY like the picture of the Zaccheus Tree that I took in Jericho in October 1984. Sam angle, same focus, same depth of field, etc.

Except my photo is a little print in an album and never was on the internet. Funny.

[Hebrews 11:6]

So, then, we’re supposing that is, indeed, the very same tree?

[left that other site]

I guess, but 30 years older. Probably too tall for Zachaeus to climb now.

Or maybe they replace it every few years with a new tree that looks the same. Anyway, Jericho is probably not on the itinerary anymore due to...well you know.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Time being the great leveler, there are exceedingly few relics remaining from then and there, aside from the odd scroll and pyramid and Temple wall and tomb. So, it's nice for me to learn of another.

I suppose there is no expectation of identifying Absalom's or Judas' trees, let alone Jesus' withered fig.

[wbarmy]

#1 is a big “What?” from me. I kind of understand the “world” in the tree as symbolizing all the world being in the position of Zacchaeus, but the upside down triangle is representative of what?

[etabeta]

Another tax collector reformed and saved! Love the illuminated manuscript page at #31.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I cannot speak for the artist, but I think a reasonable inference is that it represents the Triune God—the Holy Trinity, the creator and savior of that world.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, it’s as if Jesus is actually searching out sinners. Or variously, they grow on trees!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Forgot to add: since the triangle is “flesh-colored”, it evokes the Incarnation.

[wbarmy]

I understand and tried to work that into my thoughts when I first saw the picture, but the triangle is used by so many other non-Christian entities that it evokes a different “feeling” in me.

Maybe the picture is just too impressionist for me.

[left that other site]

YEARS ago, I did a study of Trees in the Bible on the J-Thread. Although we are still in Psalms, that might be fun to do again.

[Hebrews 11:6]

People of our vintage are always talking about what we did YEARS ago. Glad you're looking forward, too.

So, no pictures of Absalom's tree?

[left that other site]

Because David loved that weasel, He probably had the tree cut down.

I don’t mind bringing up memories of the past, though. It shows that I have at least a FEW brain cells left! :-)

[null and void]

I like the ‘what the Hell???’ expressions on the faces of the crowd in #20.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As He did with those onlookers, Jesus continues to amaze and confound every human, and He will until the Last Judgment; at which point He will have nothing more to do with, sadly, most, and with the rest amazement will accelerate while all confounding ceases.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

““39” looks EXACTLY like the picture of the Zaccheus Tree that I took in Jericho in October 1984.”

Yes. I saw that tree in October 2019. It hasn’t changed.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“I like the ‘what the Hell???’ expressions on the faces of the crowd in #20.”

Yes. Jesus had a habit of being nice to sinners no one could stand. Good thing for us!
