00:00I want to know every detail, everything.
00:02Do you get dunked under the water?
00:04Complete submersion.
00:05Well, that's how we do it at my church.
00:09Head to toe?
00:12Uh, and for how long?
00:14Maybe not nano-supersonic speed, but quick enough.
00:18You got nothing to fear, Quantum.
00:20And what do people wear when they're baptized?
00:22Something you could get wet?
00:24This shit will be a trip, Chris.
00:26Sigh.
00:27Will there be, like, a lot of people watching?
00:30Oh, oh, I will be there!
00:32Of course!
00:32To cheer you on.
00:34Well, it kind of sounds like taking a bath in public.
00:36I can take this one, GOA.
00:38I have been doing research.
00:39The disciple Peter says,
00:41baptism is more than just washing your body.
00:44It means turning to God with a clear conscience
00:46because Jesus Christ was raised from death.
00:49What I really wonder is, you know,
00:52do you feel any different after baptism?
00:54Yes, and it's a good different.
00:57Oh, hey, I gotta go.
00:59Got this family thing this afternoon.
01:04Oh, Chris, you should really do a baptism rehearsal
01:06while GOA is here.
01:08You know, if you get enough velocity down this slide,
01:10you could land right in the pool
01:12and rehearse a complete submersion.
01:20Okay, gotta go.
01:21Yeah, see ya.
01:23Yes!
01:23The crowd goes wild and the judges say...
01:29You don't rehearse a baptism, Gizmo.
01:31Nice landing, though.
01:33Whoa!
01:34Jill!
01:34Hey!
01:34Have you seen Chris?
01:36By the treehouse.
01:38See you later, Chris!
01:39Oh, hi, Josh.
01:40Hi, that's all you have to say?
01:42Hi?
01:43Hi.
01:43Is a fitting and friendly salutation
01:45exchanged between good friends?
01:47Some friend?
01:49Do the words Angels Way Children's Home
01:52mean anything to you?
01:56Oh, man.
01:58Joy, I...
01:58You volunteered to come help me
02:00run that pool party for the kids.
02:01I am so sorry.
02:03I called and texted a dozen times.
02:05No, I would have heard...
02:05The party's over, you never showed.
02:07Oh, it's off.
02:09Sorry.
02:10A GOA came over and we got talking about my baptism.
02:13Joy, wait!
02:14Joy!
02:15Wait!
02:19The World is Superbook
02:24It's the word for all time
02:26The word for all the world
02:29The story's forever alive
02:34Superbook
02:35The world is superbook
02:37The world is superbook
02:39The world is superbook
02:42The world is superbook
02:48Giz, Mach Rocket Mode 3000.
02:56I can't believe I forgot about the swim day.
03:13I need to get myself upright.
03:18Gizmo, what is going on?
03:20We've got to catch up with Joy.
03:22Professor Quantum just updated my turbo pump's exhaust manifold
03:25and it may still need some minor recalibration.
03:29Are you all right, Chris?
03:31I may be burping up those blueberry waffles Mom made for breakfast.
03:35Oh, allow me to provide you with a drink of fresh water
03:37from my newly installed personal hydration port.
03:46Shut it off, Gizmo!
03:49Right, have your dad recalibrate the water dispenser as well, Chris.
03:54Check.
03:55Just find Joy.
03:57Right.
03:59Boosters are go!
04:04She wasn't anywhere between my house and hers.
04:07And I do not see her scooter parked outside.
04:09Perhaps she did not come this way, Chris.
04:11You're right, Giz.
04:12Her mom and dad are probably working today.
04:14We set course for Pepper's Pizza Palace.
04:18If we make a direct flight path, Chris,
04:21we should be able to make up for lost time
04:23and maybe even beat her to the pizza shop.
04:28You gotta get that fixed, Gizmo.
04:30I know, I know.
04:39How was your event, Joy?
04:40Fantastic.
04:41Well, that's nice, honey.
04:48Mr. and Mrs. Pepper?
04:49Nice to see you, Chris.
04:50Hope I can get Joy to feel the same way.
04:53Oh, a ficus tree.
04:55Little known fact that some ficus trees live thousands of years.
05:02Joy, I...
05:03I don't want to talk about it.
05:07I know just how to solve this.
05:10Order in the court!
05:11Order!
05:12The Honorable Judge Gizmo is now presiding.
05:15I will hear both sides of the argument.
05:17There are no two sides about it, Giz.
05:19That's Judge Giz to you.
05:21I was counting on him today and he didn't show up.
05:24Case closed.
05:26Hey, I'm the only one who gets to say that.
05:29What say you?
05:30She's right.
05:31I was wrong.
05:32Case closed.
05:33My job here is done.
05:37Joy, becoming a Christian is a really big deal.
05:41It's... it's big.
05:42You said that.
05:43And I just got all caught up in it with G.O.A.
05:45It's all you've talked about lately.
05:48You're obsessed with it.
05:50Well, you might be too if you...
05:54felt what I did after asking God's forgiveness for my sins.
05:59Chris, it's good for you to be forgiven because you're...
06:02well, you're you.
06:05But I'm already a good person.
06:07I don't need to be saved.
06:09Joy...
06:11Superbook!
06:16I am taking you to meet a man who learned that salvation is for everyone.
06:41Something is squishy.
06:44Look!
06:45Thanks!
06:47Where are we this time, Giz?
06:51My G.O. sensors indicate we are in ancient Jericho.
06:54First century.
06:54No!
06:54I refuse to pay!
06:56And that is double what I paid last time.
06:59Careful, Gizmo!
07:05Guys, what's going on?
07:09You simply must pay Rome what Rome is due.
07:12It is the law.
07:13You do nothing but cheat and steal from your own people in the name of Rome.
07:17Get off my properties, Achaeus!
07:19I do not make the rules, my friend.
07:22If you do not pay, then your next visitors will be Roman soldiers.
07:30We've got to help them before they get clobbered.
07:32Help me weight this bag for distance, Giz.
07:37Get us out of here at once!
07:39It spikes out, bar boy!
07:43Admir, look!
07:45Get in the car!
07:48Run!
07:49Donkeys!
07:49Run!
08:04Fix!
08:10Thank you for your help back there, children.
08:12We are not used to people being nice to us.
08:16Well, that sure seemed like one angry guy.
08:20Reminds me of someone else who recently blew her top.
08:23Hey, I have every right to be angry with you.
08:28How did you wind up in my cart?
08:30Um...
08:31This cart?
08:31That cart?
08:32You mean right here?
08:33This one?
08:33With your stuff inside.
08:35Ah, there was a bag, and...
08:36I decided it would be the perfect weapon...
08:39To throw.
08:40At that guy chasing you.
08:41Back there!
08:43Come.
08:44We're visiting from out of town.
08:45So, we'll go now.
08:47Well, I must say how truly thankful I am.
08:50I am Zacchaeus.
08:52This is Abner.
08:53He works for me.
08:54Now, I insist you be my guest while in Jericho.
08:57My servants will do everything to make you comfortable.
09:00Come!
09:05Zacchaeus, why does that man dislike you and Abner so much?
09:10No one likes us, I'm afraid.
09:12I am a tax collector.
09:13And no one likes to pay taxes.
09:16Boy, have I heard my dad complain about that.
09:19But he always pays, and no one comes to our door.
09:23We must go door to door.
09:24This is the method.
09:26I'm simply doing my job.
09:29But enough about my work.
09:31Is this your first time in Jericho?
09:32Oh, no.
09:33We have been here before.
09:34Remember that time when Jesus...
09:37What?
09:38You have traveled with Jesus of Nazareth?
09:40I've heard much about him and his miracles.
09:43He has multiplied food to feed thousands and heal diseases.
09:46Is that true?
09:48That's all true.
09:50He's a very good man.
09:52He's like no one else we've ever met.
09:57Zacchaeus, a word.
10:01Take your time, children.
10:02My servants will get you anything you require.
10:07It is nice having new friends.
10:41I'm glad you like it here.
10:43Pay to Rome what is Rome's.
10:46And to Zacchaeus, what is due him.
10:57Pay to Rome what is Rome's.
11:01And to Zacchaeus, what is due him.
11:05And then some.
11:11For Rome, and a little extra for Zacchaeus.
11:26Children, Abner and I have business to attend to.
11:29We will see you in a while.
11:32Guys, something doesn't feel right.
11:34What do you mean?
11:36Last night, when you were asleep, I heard Zacchaeus in the other room.
11:40I went and watched him for a moment and saw him counting the coins he collected yesterday.
11:44I think he cheats and takes a little more for himself than he should.
11:48Did not take you long to figure that out, did it?
11:50What?
11:51Zacchaeus is a bad man.
11:53He always will be.
11:54And you should stay far, far away from him.
11:57He has been quite nice to us.
11:59Then you are the only ones in all of Jericho who can claim that.
12:03I am Jerry.
12:04Come and see for yourselves.
12:06But I only need a little more time, Zacchaeus.
12:09My records show you have paid only part of your taxes.
12:12And I have been patient long enough.
12:14We pay Rome a tax based on our labors.
12:17But anything the chief tax collector can force people to pay above that, he keeps for himself.
12:22Zacchaeus is always pushing for more, sometimes even pretending that Rome is demanding extra taxes.
12:30So maybe he sins.
12:32You know, a little.
12:33Everyone sins.
12:35Even good people, like you, Joy.
12:37We're all sinners, everybody.
12:39But God's always ready to forgive us.
12:47This way, guys.
12:56Excuse me.
12:57Please.
12:59Coming through.
13:05Come on.
13:23This way, guys.
13:30Maybe it's time to try the Zacchaeus Crawler.
13:33Follow me.
13:35Oh, shit!
13:40You are some smelly feet in that bunch.
13:52Perfect.
14:01Well, if it isn't our resident tyrant.
14:03You here to tax Jesus, too?
14:26Teacher, what is it?
14:29Zacchaeus.
14:34Zacchaeus.
14:39Make haste and come down.
14:41For today, I must stay at your house.
14:45What is he doing?
14:47Someone should tell him Zacchaeus is a tax collector.
14:50A sinner and a thief.
15:04I am coming.
15:05You will be my guest.
15:08Wait for me, Lord.
15:09I am coming down as fast as I can.
15:15I'll be right.
15:17How far down?
15:26I didn't think Zacchaeus had ever met Jesus before.
15:29He hadn't.
15:30Until now.
15:31And of all the people in Jericho to be with, Jesus chose him.
15:35A sinner.
15:49Come on.
15:50We should go with them.
15:51Why not?
15:52We are still invited guests at Chateau Zacchaeus.
15:54Wait.
15:55You would go back to his home even after all you know about him?
15:59We all mess up sometimes, Jared.
16:01We sin.
16:02Some people lie or cheat.
16:04And others...
16:06Are sometimes too quick to anger?
16:10Maybe Jesus can help Zacchaeus.
16:29Matthew, I understand you were once a tax collector.
16:33Yes.
16:34But I left all this behind.
16:36I follow Jesus now.
16:44I wonder what Jesus is saying.
16:59Please.
17:07I will give half of my property to the poor.
17:10And I will now pay back four times as much to everyone I have ever cheated.
17:18Wow.
17:22Today, salvation has come to this house.
17:25Salvation has come to this house.
17:27For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
17:46It is always so good to be back.
17:49Oh, Joy.
17:50I can help move those ficus trees for your mom and dad.
17:52Mr. and Mrs. Pepper.
17:53Allow me to use my four-foot-five-thousand mode.
17:59Chris, I'm sorry I told you you needed to be saved because, well...
18:05Because I'm me.
18:07Right.
18:09But I also said I didn't need forgiveness because I'm already a good person.
18:14And you are, Joy.
18:15But...
18:15Yeah, sometimes I am.
18:18And sometimes I'm not.
18:20Like all of us, I need forgiveness.
18:25I want to feel what Zacchaeus felt.
18:28What you felt when you asked God's forgiveness for your sins.
18:32What do I need to do?
18:34Pastor Aaron gave me a good prayer.
18:37Oh, look.
18:37Guess who left me a dozen messages?
18:39You.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:43I was so upset.
18:44And I'm sorry I got so caught up in my baptism plans that I didn't do what I promised.
18:50I can pray it with you.
18:51Is it okay if we're doing this in a pizza shop?
18:54Zacchaeus did it in his own home.
18:55Jesus doesn't mind.
19:02He takes us wherever we are.
19:09Dear God, I admit that I am a sinner and that I want to have a relationship with you.
19:15Please forgive me for all of the wrong things I have done.
19:21I believe in my heart that Jesus died and rose again to take away my sin.
19:27And I declare Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
19:31Please fill me with your Holy Spirit, that I may be faithful to you.
19:37Thank you for saving me and for letting me become your child.
19:41Please speak to me and help me to hear your voice and to follow your ways.
19:46I look forward to spending time with you, both here on earth and in heaven.
19:52In Jesus' name, I pray.
19:55Amen.
19:59Everything okay, kids?
20:02Mom, Dad, I have something I want to share with you.
20:06I've decided to become a Christian, and I've accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
20:31Amen.
