Out of a massive crowd of people, Jesus saw Levi. The encouragement for us is that Jesus sees us too; out of all humanity, He sees you and I. Similar to the scanner at the airport, Jesus ‘scans’ us and He knows what we are carrying around. Because of that ability, He sees what we need just as He saw what Levi needed. (Luke 5:28) Levi got up, left everything and followed Jesus. What did he leave? Everything! His lucrative job, and money, lots of it. Why did he do that? Levi knew in his spirit that Jesus offered far more than earthly wealth. He knew in his spirit that losing his soul meant losing everything including eternal life. He knew that he must change the trajectory of his life and that gain in the world would cost him his soul; Levi chose the greatest gain ever…Relationship with the Father, Jesus and life eternal. Religion will not save you, you need a relationship with Jesus and to heed His Word. Ask yourself what you need to leave behind, then listen… get up and follow Him.
