Matthew (Tax Collector)

In today's lesson we learn about ...
Matthew (Tax Collector) --- Matthew 9:9-12

Story Focus: Everyone can be friends with Jesus even if they have done something wrong.

Week two, again, Jesus passes right by all of the expected friend choices, and He heads straight to Matthew, a friendless tax collector. Jesus walks right up to Matthew’s table and says, ‘Follow me.’ Matthew was probably still holding money in his hand, but he left it all and followed Jesus. One by one, Jesus was showing the world that everyone can be friends with Him, even those who have made bad choices.
