{Borrowed}Saturday, September 21 FEAST OF MATTHEW, APOSTLE, EVANGELIST Pay attention to this tax man Before being called by Jesus, Matthew collected taxes from the Jewish people on behalf of the Roman occupiers. As you might imagine, such people—who often feathered their own nests quite nicely from the taxes they collected—were looked down upon by their fellow Jews as collaborators and agents of a foreign occupier. But we honor Matthew not for his past but for his immediate and unequivocal response to the call from Jesus; he got up from his desk and followed, no questions asked. Would you be ready to give up a cushy job for the sake of Jesus? Pay attention: The call could come at any time!
