Furthermore, the providence of God is plainly evident here. God arranged all these circumstances so that Jesus would be able to speak to Zacchaseus. It all looks so natural but it is all under the control and guidance of God. Without his own knowledge, Caesar August brought it about that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Without realizing it, the woman at the well, John 4, found the water of life in addition to mere water.
Nothing is accidental.
God rules and overrules the whole world and every detail thereof to bring about His will. Christians see the hand of God at work in their lives. We think it means the latter here. Evidently Zacchaeus was married and perhaps had children. Perhaps more than one person became a Christian on this occasion.
