Luke 5:27 GIVES THE DETAILS Levi was a tax collector Called right from his office God ALWAYS calls busy people where they are !

PUBLICANS OFTEN SOLD… His conscience His companionship His family His faith

Matthew 16:26 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Luke 5:29 And Levi gave a big reception for Him in his house; and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and other people who were reclining at the table with them.

MATTHEW’S RESPONSE??? Accepted his responsibility Gave a “feast” for his co-horts Had an orderly mind and gave it to the Lord

MATTHEW KNEW THE BOTTOM LINE

Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

MATTHEW KNEW THE BOTTOM LINE Can’t serve God AND mammon Matthew 6:24 Seek the kingdom FIRST Matthew 6:33

Matthew 10:3 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3. Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4. Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

MATTHEW NEVER FORGOT WHO HE WAS He identified himself as the tax collector He listed his conversion among his miracles

Not much said about… This outcast, This unlikely candidate, This one who could be you?
