Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple? Because it is the sick that need to be healed, the sinner that needs to be forgiven. Since Mathew was a sinner, if he could see the light and repent and be saved, he would make the best teacher to help spread the word of the Lord.

Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple? Jesus chose Matthew to be His disciple because for God all men are equal; he doesn't care if a person is rich or poor, good or bad, ignorant or educated, black or white, He came for everybody.   This way Jesus showed that a man could change after hearing God's voice and at the same time opening his heart for Him.

Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple? Jesus chose Matthew because Matthew needed "fixing"...his ways were not "of Christ"...Jesus wants to help people that are "off track"...not people that already GET IT!...although, He does help those of us that already get it, He knows that we can be left "unattended" for a minute while He helps others that don't...and Matthew needed to be helped! Matthew also hung around with others that needed to be helped too. So Jesus took that opportunity, using Matthew, perhaps some of the others "paid attention"!

Did Jesus try to call the Pharisees, or did He realise they would remain stiff-necked and blind? What does this mean to you? "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice." By: Keith Downie - April 14, 2008 - Public Category: The Calling of Matthew

Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple? Jesus oftern chose the lowly  to magnify God. Jesus told His disciples "If they hated Me, they will hate you also." Jesus desires us to have mercy on Him,each other, and society, working acts of kindness. These are far better than ritualistic or any other kind of sacrifice. By: Keith Downie - April 14, 2008 - Public Category: The Calling of Matthew

Why did Jesus choose Matthew, a known taxgatherer and a despised man, to be His disciple? Jesus chose people that where despised, or thought not to be worthy the service of God, to fulfil His mission.
