Matthew 9:9 - 9:13
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage, Steve Gregg discusses the story of Matthew, a tax collector who becomes a follower of Jesus. Gregg notes that tax collectors were widely disliked by the Jewish community for their association with the Roman government and their perceived greed. However, Jesus approaches Matthew and invites him to join his cause, demonstrating his willingness to associate with those considered outcasts. Through this encounter, Gregg highlights Jesus' message that all individuals, regardless of their perceived flaws and status in society, are welcome to repent and follow him.
