"Lost" in a Crowd

 This morning's sermon centered around the story of Zacchaeus.  C. Spencer presented the idea that in order to see Christ, Zacchaeus had to make the decision to move out of the crowd (in this case by climbing a tree).  I began to wonder how often we miss Christ or lose our view of him because we are blinded by the crowd.  The idea of one's being lost in a crowd begins to take on a whole new meaning.  Our being blinded by the crowd (or the company we keep) is no excuse.  We need to look to Christ daily, and when something, someone, or some action blocks our view, find the closest tree and climb!
