Matthew accepted Christ’s invitation to follow him and never turned back. He spent the rest of his life convincing folks that this carpenter was the King.
Jesus gave the call and never took it back. The relationship Jesus had with Matthew can serve to convince us that if Jesus had a place for Matthew, a tax collector, he just might have a place for us, too.
