Daily Hope with Pastor John S. Dickerson


Seen by Jesus, Even in the Crowd

December 15, 2025

Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the story of Zacchaeus—a man overlooked by everyone except Jesus. In Luke 19, Zacchaeus is too short to see over the crowd and too disliked to be welcomed by others. Yet Jesus stops, looks up, calls him by name, and invites Himself into Zacchaeus’ home. Pastor John reminds us that this is the heart of Christ: He sees the unnoticed, values the overlooked, and seeks out those who feel forgotten. Wherever you feel unseen—at school, in retirement, at home—Jesus sees you, knows you, and welcomes you with compassion.
