Zacchaeus and the Big Tree! is the one-hundred-twenty-third episode of VeggieTales that teaches a lesson in redemption.
Description[]
You've all heard the song... Zacchaeus was a wee little man. After disappointing God by not trading in his latest Bible-Mon trading cards to his closest cousin, Zacchaeus tries to hide himself atop a big tree when he discovers that a visitor from God is coming to visit their small town. This is when Zacchaeus learns that no matter how big of mistakes we make, God can forgive us and redeem us from our wrongs. It's a nonsensical but charming retelling of the classic Bible story of Zacchaeus!
Plus, find out how a classic fairy tale princess redeems herself in "Callie-Punzel"!
