    Psalm Reading

    Psalm 59:14–17 ESV
    Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill. But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love.

    Prayer

    Our Stength
    Steadfast Love
    Our Fortress & our refuge
    I will sing praises to you

    Reading

    Matthew 9:9–13 ESV
    As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
    Mark’s Account - [Mark 2:13-17]
    Luke’s Account - [Luke 5:27-32]

    Mark shares details of the background setting...
    Mark 2:13 ESV
    He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.
    Jesus leaves the house where he healed the Paralytic

    Jesus Calls Matthew

    Matthew 9:9 ESV
    As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
    He passes Levi, sitting in the tax “booth”
    Matthew means “Gift of God”
    Collecting taxes along the “international highway” between Syria and Egypt
    Matthew takes no credit for himself
    Luke provides more information...
    Luke 5:28 ESV
    And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.
    Jesus works in the heart of an individual
    He calls them to follow Him and to His service - “follow me”
    To following Christ is sacrificial service
    knowing that difficulties and persecution lay ahead
    Died to self, lived for Christ

    Great Feast

    Matthew 9:10 ESV
    And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.
    The house [living quarters] provided for the tax collectors
    Jesus spent time there and the tax collectors and sinners gathered
    Luke 5:29 ESV
    And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.
    Meal [Feast] - well prepared and greatly enjoyed
    Meal implies friendship and fellowship
    Jesus identifies with the tax collectors and sinners

    Pharisees question the Disciples

    Matthew 9:11 ESV
    And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
    They critisize the disciples for accepting Jesus as their teacher
    In their legalistic views the Pharasees fail to understand that there are occasions when such fellowship is entirely proper and justified
    Matthew 9:12–13 ESV
    But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
    The doctor who, without becoming contaminated with the diseases of his patients, must get close to them in order that he may heal them.
    Jesus says “go learn what this means...
    Hosea 6:6 ESV
    For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
    The people had disobeyed God, and through the hardess of their hearts, their sacrifices amounted to sheer mockery
    I desire mercy, and not sacrifice
    For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners” [to repenance] Luke 5:39
