Wow! Think about that! How amazing!

It is often said that religion and the Gospel are opposites. Yes. Because religion is man trying to find a way to God. The Gospel is God finding a way to man!

Here Jesus saw Levi, a regular fellow, just one of the crowd, a nobody. Not talented, not special, not in authority. Just a normal everyday guy. But Jesus noticed him. Jesus, the Creator of the universe, walking with the mind of God, who did nothing unless He saw the Father do it… That Jesus noticed Levi in the crowd! Why? If Jesus did nothing unless He saw the Father do it… Then… Yes… God the Father noticed Levi also!

Levi was one of a million stars in the night sky, but God called him out by name. Just as He calls your name now. If you are reading this, if this post caught your eye, stopped you, then God is calling you right now. He stands asking the same of you as He did Levi… “Follow me?”

No moment of our life is chance. God has a purpose, a plan for you. He brought you to this moment to call you out of the crowd and ask you… “Follow me?”

When we look up at the billions of stars in the night sky, the insignificance of our own life among those billions sets in. But, when we realize that the God who made all those stars, who made all these people, is calling you by name, wow! How significant we are to Him. He calls to us in the crowd and simply asks…

“Follow me?”
