The subject of our study this weekend is a sinner turned saint! His name is Levi son of Alphaeus, but he is better known as Matthew, a name that was presumable given him by Jesus. Levi means “joined” and Matthew means “gift of Yahweh.” We could say that when Levi joined the band of Jesus’ disciples, he became Matthew, a gift that God used to bless others. Jesus transformed Matthew and Matthew wanted the same for his friends. Matthew wanted his friends to come to know and follow Jesus. Do you want the same?
