Pentecost 2, 2026

Matthew was not the sort of person people expected Jesus to call.

Yet Jesus walks past Matthew’s tax booth, looks directly at him, and says just two words:

“Follow me.”

No lecture. No interrogation. No demand that Matthew first change his life. Simply, “Follow me”, and Matthew gets up and follows.

The remarkable thing is not just that Matthew follows Jesus. The remarkable thing is that Jesus calls him in the first place!!
