Luke 19:9-10 (ESV)
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Jesus came to save the chosen people first and then the world. They would reject Him and the first would become last and the last would become first.
Zacchaeus was a son of Abraham, the people of God. They had lost their way in following the way of God. Jesus touched the mind and heart of Zacchaeus, bringing His healing touch of salvation. That which was lost is found.
Gentiles were never part of the chosen people and would never be lost in the same way as the nation of Israel.
