Matthew was called by Gods irresistible grace. What happened to Matthew is what happened to James, John, Peter, Andrew, you, me and every Christian who has ever come to follow Christ. As Matthew looked into the face of Jesus Christ and heard Christ’s command, he experienced the powerful call of God – a God who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.
