Redeemer and Lord

As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, Follow Me. So he arose and followed Him.
Matthew 9:9

Redeemer and Lord
As Jesus Christ was travelling through Israel, He passed by the customs house one day, where Matthew was collecting taxes for the Romans. Tax collectors were not at all popular with their fellow men at that time because they helped the oppressors of the people. Most wanted to have as little to do with them as possible.

But the Son of God saw in Matthew a person for whom He had come to earth. Although He knew everything about him, He didn’t despise him. It was this man that the Lord Jesus wanted to save and make His disciple. That is why He urged him, “Follow Me”.

Matthew was deeply impressed by the grace that the Saviour showed him. Therefore, he followed the call immediately. From that moment on, he no longer wanted to direct his own life but to obey the Lord Jesus.

After His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ returned to heaven. Nevertheless, we can still experience today how He enters our lives in a very personal way. It happens through the message of the gospel:

o As Saviour, He offers us forgiveness of sins and eternal life. When we confess our sins and believe that Jesus Christ paid for them with His life, He brings us into a proper relationship with God.
o As Lord, He calls us to follow Him. He wants to be in charge in our lives and take us into His school. From Him we learn to how to honour God through our behaviour.

Today’s reading: Isaiah 37:1-20 · Hebrews 3:7-19

BE STRONG

You don't charge someone to be strong if there is no task to be performed or if pressure is not required, either for motion or putting up resistance against an opposing force. In the physical realm, mere movement requires strength. This explains why a sick person or a person just recovering from an ailment finds it...More

Acts 5:4-5

God often proves to be other than people think. Here, for example, death struck a man suddenly for lying before God. Is God therefore severe, when he makes use of His power unreservedly towards the weak?
Let us first briefly examine what preceded this judgment. Holy zeal for the...More
