Episode Details

What happens when Jesus looks at someone everyone else has already written off?

In Matthew 9, Jesus sees Matthew sitting at a tax booth and says two simple words: “Follow me.”

Matthew's past didn't disqualify him. His reputation didn't disqualify him. His failures didn't disqualify him.

Jesus saw something different.

In this message from the Chosen series, we discover four powerful truths:

• Jesus sees people differently than we do.

• Jesus calls us before we have it all together.

• Found people find people.

• Religion looks down, but Jesus builds up.

Maybe you've been labeled by your past. Maybe you've convinced yourself you've gone too far.

You haven't.

Jesus is still saying, “Follow me.”
