Levi’s Banquet
from All Saints Hampton · host John Winterburn
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”Luke 5:27-32

What this episode covers
When Jesus calls a tax collector to be his disciple, we see two very different responses; joy and bitterness. It's challenging to reflect on where we sit in that narrative, do we see the acceptance and forgiveness of others as something to be celebrated, or as taking away from our own happiness?
