To my knowledge, they weren't the same person. Matthew was the tax collector who became a disciple of Jesus. Zacchaeus was the man who had to climb a tree to see Jesus. From Zacchaeus we can learn that when you make a solid effort to experience Jesus, you are rewarded. From Matthew we can learn that God can use anyone to help him in his work. We should not feel unqualified because of our appearance, lack of education, or our past and we certainly should not judge others because they are sinners. Jesus looks for sincere commitment. We should also remember that the highest calling in life is serving God, no matter what the world says.
