The Twelve, pt. 2 - Calling of the Outcast

Jesus calls Levi (Matthew), a tax collector, who would’ve been despised by everyone at that time. Despite being looked down on and despised by society, Jesus still calls all those who are “sick from sin” that they may be healed and follow Him.

• From the lowest of blue-collar workers to the white-collar criminals, Jesus is truly for everyone. 
• We show more about our connection to Christ in the way we accept a new brother or sister into the family of God than by years of religious deeds.
• No, we must only be concerned that people find the forgiveness which may be offered to them once repentance is made.
