Today, we examine the calling of a despised man called Matthew. He is a tax-collector, which means he is Jewish but working for the Romans. And so he is a hated man. AND THEN Jesus calls him to follow Him. That could be trouble in the ranks of Jewish disciples right there. But here is what I want to focus on today. This one man, Matthew, upon being called by Jesus to follow instantly, sets up a dinner for Jesus and invites all his sinner friends. I think there is a message there, and the message is this: It all begins with YOU. When you become a Christian, you turn around and try to bring your friends and family to Jesus. Because after all, who knows more unbelievers than a just saved person! Yes, friend, it all begins with YOU.
