As He passed by,
he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus,
sitting at the customs post.
Jesus said to him,
“Follow me.”
And he got up and followed Jesus.
(Mark 2:14)
Jesus came not for the righteous but for the broken and the lost. He came not for the perfect but for the ones who need the cross. He came to heal the sick, give sight to the blind, free the captives and renew the weary mind. He came to seek and save the ones who went astray, to show the way, the truth and the life. He came to die for sinners and to rise again in power. He came to offer grace and to be our Savior.
Follow Jesus. Trust Him and believe in His love and His grace. Obey Him and walk in His footsteps and His ways. Serve Him and share His gospel and His light, Worship Him and praise His name and His might. Know Him and grow in His word and His spirit. Love Him and cherish His presence and His gift.
Lord Jesus,
You came not for the righteous but for the broken and the lost. Please make me whole again and show me the right way.
Thank You so much for being my Lord and Savior. I shall follow You all the days of my life knowing and believing that only You can bring to fulfillment all of my life's wishes and desires.
All glory and honor are Yours now and forever. Amen.

II: The Mystery of Jesus
THE CALL OF LEVI
Mark 2:13-17
13 Jesus went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them. 14 As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs post. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed Jesus. 15 While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him. 16 Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 Jesus heard this and said to them, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
