It always makes me happy to hear of someone who has wealth but still seeks the Savior and His will. Zacchaeus in this case was just that, he sought to know Jesus, but he was also a wealthy man a tax collector if I'm not mistaken, being called a publican. The people saw him as a sinner. In seeking Jesus he was blessed to host Him in his home.
Next is the parable of the pounds, which I assume is money. This money is distributed from one who is to be king for collection upon his return. The servants use their money differently and some have returns and one does not. Those with returns are blessed and those without are not. When we value and improve upon what is given us of the Lord more is given. When that which we receive is disregarded it is taken away.
The Lord approaches Jerusalem on the back of a colt that has never been ridden on before. The people show great respect by laying their clothes down before him. If they hadn't shouted their praise the rocks would have cried out. I long to be in His presence and express directly my praise and gratitude.
