Scripture Union Daily Guide 10th January 2022 Devotional Note
Tax collectors belong to the group the Pharisees detest and consider ‘sinners’. To them Levi belongs to the group of people who are totally lost. This is because of their liaison with the Roman Government. They not only collect tax on their behalf but make their own heavy cut from their oppressive business. What must have led Jesus to choose such ‘reprobate’ as a disciple (vs.31‐32; cf. John 3:17‐18; Matthew 5:3).
What can we learn from Levi’s method of evangelism (v.29)? The same Levi (Matthew) authored the first Gospel which was mainly addressed to the Jews. Note what Jesus said about fasting (vs.34‐35). To be truly effective in our ministry, we should create time for fasting combined with prayer.
Read vs.36‐39 again. What happens if we try to fit the new life in Christ into the old mould of legalism? Some of our traditions cannot be mixed with Christianity. Can you think of any?
Practice/Word Application
And so? Christ receives anyone who comes to Him. Shouldn’t we do likewise? Pray for a humble spirit and a heart that loves and welcomes all.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
• Dear Lord, help my heart to welcome and received all as you would do.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Luke 9:1
“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.”
Bible Reading: Genesis 15, Galatians 1‐2.
