Zacchaeus

Was Zacchaeus a Gospel-Lurker?
If Zacchaeus were on the internet today, he might be considered a Lurker.
Just watching and listening but saying nothing.
The internet has a lot of those.
My wife is one of those, regularly reading but seldom making her presence known.
But Jesus reached out, and called "Zacchaeus down, out of the sycamore tree."
How many Lurkers does the average church website have?
How can a pastor call them down out of their internet page?
If you had a church website, you would likely have lurkers too.
That is a good problem.
Lurkers are curious.
Remember, Zacchaeus first made the effort to climb the tree, eh?
