Will You Take a Seat?

Matthew 9:9

9As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and followed Him.

As Jesus began His ministry, He called His disciples. They did not go looking for Jesus but He came looking for them. You may think you were looking for Jesus first but Jesus had been looking for you for a long time. And if you are not saved and are reading this, Jesus has already set His eyes on you. Jesus knows every strength and weakness you have. He knows every good and bad thing you have done. Yes, including the piece of candy you thought no one saw you take. He knows every thought you've had. He knows if in you heart you are where you want to be. He knows everything. What does it mean? It means that Jesus has something specific for you to do. In Matthew 10 Jesus called the disciples to Him and sent them out. The purpose of you coming to Jesus is for more than sitting at His feet. You are to learn from Him. Your purpose as He said in the Great Commission, is to help bring others to Him.  It is hard to invite someone to the table with Jesus when you yourself are not willing to take a seat.

Will you let Him teach you? Will you let Him prepare you for what the Father sent you here for? Will you take a seat at the table with Jesus?
