made his money as a tax collector. As such, he had accumulated
enormous wealth by extortion.
Against that background, let's pick up the story of this man who
is often spoken of as "a wee little man" because of his lack of

was. Perhaps you too have heard about Jesus but don't know
personally and experientially who Jesus it. Use these moments
togive your undivided attention to ascertaining for yourself who
He is.
