Decision!

For Wednesday, March 3, 2021

Mark 2:14b NLT: “'Follow me and be my disciple,' Jesus said. So Levi got up and followed him.”

This big life-changing decision is actually pretty simple. When Jesus taps you on the shoulder, you just need to say, “Yes!”

Levi, a Hebrew, was working as a tax collector for the Roman government. He had a job, he had wealth, but there's more to life than that. Here was a chance to follow the teacher everyone was talking about, the teacher who turned out to be the Son of God! Levi left everything to become a disciple. We now know Levi as the Apostle Matthew!

Jesus offered what the Roman government could not. Followers of Jesus have assurance of salvation, the promise of eternal life in the presence of God the Father. Followers of Jesus nowadays have that same assurance of salvation! Believers already have an agenda for their life-after-this-life!

Followers of Jesus have hope for their future!

Blessings and safety to all today!
