Here is a Sunday school literature classroom idea based on the story of Zacchaeus from the book of Luke. Start the class with a discussion, read the literature from the Bible, and then go back to the discussion to note the differences in understanding.
Discussion:
Ask the students if everyone sins or if there is anyone who does not sin, besides Jesus. Talk to them about sins and the sinner. Explain that everyone is a sinner because everyone sins, but that does not mean that we are all bad people.
Bible Reading:
Appoint several students to read Luke 19: 1-10. Have them read until the passage has been read completely. At the end of the passage discuss what happened in this story so that you can be sure that everyone understood what was read.
Discussion:
Remind them of the discussion before the bible reading. Discuss what they can do to show their disapproval of the sins that are being committed around them and show that they still love the sinner.
