Meet the Apostles: Matthew

Meet the Apostles: Matthew by ric Gustafson


Matthew was a tax collector. He took money from his fellow Jews and gave it to their enemies. Tax collectors were notorious for overcharging  and pocketing the extra money.
One day, Jesus spotted him sitting at his tax booth.  Jesus simply told him " come follow me". Matthew stood up and left everything and followed Jesus. Matthew invited Jesus and his friends to eat with his friends and co workers.
Praise God for Matthew who left everything and followed Jesus.
