Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

So he left all, rose up, and followed Him (Luke 5:28).
Are you willing to sacrifice everything for Jesus?
Levi, also called Matthew, is rich. He is a tax collector. The Jewish people hate Matthew because he collects taxes for the occupiers, the Romans; however, he is wealthy. Jesus intervenes in Matthew’s life and forever changes him with the following two words: “Follow Me” (Luke 5:27). Luke reports, “So he left all, rose up, and followed Him” (Luke 5:28). The term “all” literally means all together and conveys the universal whole. Matthew understands Jesus’ axiom, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it” (Mark 8:35). Moreover, Matthew shows his commitment to Jesus by inviting his unsaved friends to a banquet to meet Jesus (Luke 5:29). The follower of Jesus leaves all and uses what he has to reach the lost.
Employment Point: Follow Jesus and abandon the old for the new.
