Excellent Bible exposition! If we want to understand the Bible, we have to understand what the writer intended to say, God’s message, and the application to our life.

Great Post, reminded me of an idiom which perhaps God judges his creations.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover, see a man by his cloth, as there is often a good deal of solid worth and superior skill underneath a [???] jacket and yaller pants.”

Thanks for linking to that very thoughtful writeup, Citizen Tom.
It reminds me that I need to read the Bible more.
I think it is very applicable today. Most of us are fantastically rich by ancient standards.
Zacchaeus does not appear to have any pressing, need (unlike so many who sought Jesus).
God has placed in the soul of all of us a desire to connect to the Creator, though some choose to suppress it. We’re spiritual beings and no amount of (worldly) success can satisfy our soul’s desire to know God.

Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus. Does not sound like much, but in those days that would have been very undignified. Grown men did not even pull up their skirts to run. Therefore, climbing a tree where anyone could have looked underneath his skirt must have humiliated Zacchaeus. Yet he suffered the indignity. Why? I think it is just as you say.
