In this Gospel preaching you will hear of the call of Jesus, the company of Jesus and the confrontation of Jesus as we look at Matthew chapter 5.
Matthew 9:9-13 “9 And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.11 And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?
12 But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.13 But go and learn what [that] is—I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.”
