Did Matthew hesitate? Did he look at the precious bag of money by his
side?
No! He left all, rose up, and followed Jesus! Matthew heard the
call—and he obeyed.
And this is the decision that Jesus, our Lord, wants each one of us to
make, young and old.
If we listen to His voice, if we will heed the pleading love in His
eyes, an instant firmness will come to us, and, like Matthew, we shall
"rise up, and follow him."
