Matthew 9- What It Means to Follow Jesus
Manage episode 354621192 series 3300363
This Sunday at Hope, we will look at the account of Jesus calling Matthew to be his disciple. It seems like such a simple event. Matthew is at his tax collector's booth. Jesus says: "Follow me." And Matthew does. So many questions come into my mind! Why does he follow Jesus with such little context? What is the significance of that for today’s Christians? How are we called? And what does that exactly mean?
This Sunday, we will examine the account of Matthew's calling to show Christians how they are called and what they are called to do. It's an empowering gospel note to leave us filled with the truth of Jesus- the only one who can forgive; the only one who can give us eternal life.
What is discipleship? Discipleship is letting Jesus be everything for you. May God grant that faith to us all for his name's sake.
