Zacchaeus was interested in Jesus primarily because he was intrigued by the powerful messages and miracles that Jesus performed, which contrasted with his own life as a wealthy tax collector often despised by society. Additionally, his desire to see Jesus, despite his short stature, indicated a deep yearning for spiritual fulfillment and acceptance. This curiosity ultimately led him to seek a personal encounter with Jesus, reflecting his longing for redemption and transformation.
