Follow Me

Jesus called a tax collector
To follow him
When the religious of that day
Condemned such men.
What does that say to us today?
Are there tax collectors among us
That God would choose as followers?
Let me remember that question
Before I condemn.
Let me see beyond the facade
To the person within.
Help me to be more like our Redeemer.

And as Jesus passed forth from there,
he saw a man, named Matthew,
sitting at the receipt of custom;
and he saith unto him,
Follow me.
And he arose, and followed him.
