Zacchaeus, though small in stature, was the probably the most biggest and wretched sinner in all of Jericho, and yet in one moment all of his sins were forgiven and his life was forever changed. Who effected such a monumental change in his life and how did it happen?
Sabbath Meditation In 2 Cor. 7:10 Paul describes true conversion, “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” This true repentance is based on and rooted in the work of regeneration.

This involves the subconscious level of man. It is the regenerating work of God. On the other hand, there is the active response of man. This is the resulting conscious act of the regenerated man, by which he through the grace of God turns to God in repentance and faith.” - Dr. Morton Smith
