This morning’s passage beautifully reveals the heart of Jesus. He doesn’t only invite us to call Him Lord; He invites us into friendship. Jesus calls ordinary, everyday people to follow Him, to leave their own way behind, and in that calling, we find relationship, welcome, and fellowship.On the very same day Levi responds, the story unfolds into a celebration where everyone is invited to the table — not just the religious elite of the time. What an incredible and joyful invitation that still speaks to us today. As we sit with this passage, let’s take a moment to reflect and listen for how the Spirit may be inviting us to respond.
