Day 1 Foundation of Love-Jesus Chose Matthew

Mr. Bates teaches us how Jesus called Matthew, a tax collector, to follow Him. Matthew left everything behind and followed Jesus. Matthew wasn’t liked by the people in his town but Jesus saw something in Matthew. The Pharisees complained and questioned why Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. Jesus told the Pharisees that He came not for the righteous but for sinners. (Matthew 9:9-13)

Point: Jesus chooses to love me. I can’t earn it.

Everyday Bible Verse: “I know that God started a good work in me, and He will complete it.” Philippians 1:6
