August 9<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he left all, rose up, and followed him.\u201d (Lu. 5:28).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Picture Levi sitting at a table beside the highway, collecting taxes from those who passed by. If he was a typical tax-collector, he pocketed considerable sums of money instead of turning them in to the despised Roman government.<\/p>\n

On this particular day Jesus passed by and said, \u201cFollow me.\u201d A tremendous spiritual awakening took place in Levi\u2019s life. He saw his sins exposed. He realized the emptiness of his life. He heard the promise of better things. His response was immediate. \u201cHe left all, rose up, and followed him.\u201d In doing so he anticipated Amy Carmichael\u2019s pregnant lines: \u201cI heard His call, \u2018Come, follow!\u2019\/ That was all.\/ My earthly gold grew dim,\/ My soul went after Him,\/ I rose and followed:\/ That was all.\/ Who would not follow\/ If they heard Him call?\u201d<\/p>\n

But Levi, or Matthew as he is better known, little realized on that day when he answered the call of Christ the great things that would flow from his obedience.<\/p>\n

First of all, of course, he experienced the priceless blessing of salvation. From then on he wore out his sandals on the toes instead of on the heels. From then on he had more joy even when he was sad than he formerly had when he was glad. From then on he could say in the words of George Wade Robinson, \u201csomething lives in every hue, Christless eyes have never seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then too, Matthew became one of the Twelve Apostles. He lived with the Lord Jesus, heard His incomparable teachings, became a witness of His resurrection, went forth with the message glorious, and finally laid down His life for the Savior.<\/p>\n

To Matthew was given the unspeakable privilege of writing the first gospel. We said that he left all, but the Lord allowed him to keep his pen. That pen was used to portray the Lord Jesus as the true King of the Jews.<\/p>\n

Yes, Matthew left all, but in doing so, he gained all, and found the real reason for his existence.<\/p>\n

There is a sense in which the call of Christ comes to every man, woman, boy and girl. We can answer or we can refuse. If we respond, He blesses us beyond our wildest dreams. If we refuse, He finds others to follow Him. But we can never find a better Christ to follow.<\/p>\n

Stellen wir uns vor, wie Levi an einem Tisch neben der Hauptstra\u00dfe sa\u00df und Steuern\u00a0und Z\u00f6lle von den Vor\u00fcbergehenden kassierte. Wenn er ein typischer Z\u00f6llner\u00a0war, dann schob er betr\u00e4chtliche Summen in die eigene Tasche, anstatt sie an die\u00a0verachtete r\u00f6mische Besatzungsmacht weiterzuleiten.<\/p>\n

An jenem bestimmten Tag kam Jesus vorbei und sagte: \u00bbFolge mir nach.\u00ab Ein gewaltiges\u00a0geistliches Erwachen ereignete sich in Levis Leben. Er sah seine S\u00fcnden\u00a0blo\u00df und aufgedeckt vor sich. Er wurde sich der Hohlheit\u00a0seines Lebens bewusst. Er\u00a0h\u00f6rte die Verhei\u00dfung besserer Dinge. Seine Reaktion war unmittelbar. \u00bbUnd alles verlassend,\u00a0stand er auf und folgte ihm nach.\u00ab Damit nahm er Amy Carmichaels (1867-1951, englische Indienmissionarin\u00a0und Dichterin) eindringliche Zeilen vorweg:<\/p>\n

\nMein irdisches Gold verblasste,
\nMeine Seele ging Ihm nach,
\nIch stand auf und folgte:
\nDas war alles.
\nWer w\u00fcrde nicht folgen,
\nWenn er Ihn rufen h\u00f6rte?\u00ab<\/p>\n

Aber Levi, oder Matth\u00e4us, wie sein bekannterer Name lautet, wusste an jenem Tag,\u00a0als er auf den Ruf Christi reagierte, noch wenig von den gro\u00dfen\u00a0Dingen, die sich aus\u00a0seinem Gehorsam ergeben sollten.<\/p>\n

Zuerst nat\u00fcrlich erfuhr er den unsch\u00e4tzbaren Segen der Errettung. Von da an\u00a0\u00bbnutzte er seine Sandalen an der Spitze ab statt an der Ferse\u00ab. Von da an hatte er\u00a0mehr Freude, selbst wenn er traurig war, als vorher, wenn er gl\u00fccklich war. Von da\u00a0an konnte er mit den Worten von George Wade Robinson sagen: \u00bbIn jedem kleinen\u00a0Farbfleck dieser Welt lebt etwas, was christuslose Augen nie entdecken k\u00f6nnen.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Dann wurde Matth\u00e4us auch einer der zw\u00f6lf Apostel. Er lebte mit dem Herrn Jesus,\u00a0h\u00f6rte Seine unvergleichliche Belehrung, wurde Zeuge Seiner Auferstehung, ging mit\u00a0der herrlichen Botschaft in die Welt hinaus und gab schlie\u00dflich sein Leben f\u00fcr seinen\u00a0Erl\u00f6ser hin. Matth\u00e4us empfing auch das unaussprechliche Vorrecht, das erste Evangelium\u00a0verfassen zu d\u00fcrfen. Wir haben vorher gesagt, dass er alles verlassen hatte,\u00a0aber der Herr erlaubte ihm, seine Feder zu behalten. Diese Feder wurde dazu benutzt,\u00a0den Herrn Jesus als den wahren K\u00f6nig der Juden zu schildern.<\/p>\n

Ja, Matth\u00e4us verlie\u00df alles, aber dadurch gewann er auch alles und fand den wahren\u00a0Grund und das Ziel seiner Existenz.<\/p>\n

In gewissem Sinn ergeht der Ruf Christi an jeden Mann, jede Frau, jeden Jungen\u00a0und jedes M\u00e4dchen. Wir k\u00f6nnen darauf antworten, oder wir k\u00f6nnen ihn ablehnen.\u00a0Wenn wir Ihm antworten, segnet Er uns weit \u00fcber unsere k\u00fchnsten Tr\u00e4ume hinaus.\u00a0Wenn wir ablehnen, findet Er andere, die Ihm nachfolgen. Aber wir werden niemals\u00a0einen besseren Christus finden,\u00a0dem wir folgen k\u00f6nnten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
