judging Jesus

You’ve probably heard it said that Jesus didn’t come to judge us. But have you ever considered that we might be the ones judging Him?”

In Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus calls a tax collector named Matthew. Now, tax collectors worked for the Romans, back then.  They weren’t just disliked — they were hated by everyone, and considered traitors and thieves.  But Jesus doesn’t hesitate. He says, “Follow me.” And Matthew does.
