A Voice In The Wilderness Bible

5:28 So he left all, rose up, and followed Him.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
27 Tax collectors were valued less than the Gentiles as far as the Jewish people were concerned but Jesus showed him love and acceptance we are to accept people this does not mean were accept their sin. Jesus went to where he was to find him often times to reach the lost we are not going to effect by staying in the church house.
28 Levi also known as Matthew gave the same dedication as everyone else did if not more, the others could go back to being fishermen but their was not turning back for him and some of have to change our entire lives when we come to the Lord to remove sin.
