Calling of Apostles

Matthew was called from being a publican.

Jesus doesn't call us based on our occupation, he calls us based on our discipleship within the occupation.

"Apostle" is different from "Disciple"

"Apostle" indicates a chosen representative of Christ

"Disciple" indicates a follower of Christ

Conditions of Discipleship

Matthew 10:34-39 - the Gospel that Christ preached is divisive, even among families

It's not what Jesus wanted, but he knew it would happen.

"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me."

Love God first, then love family

Matthew 8:18-22 - our discipleship should be more important than any other thing in our life

Matthew 11-28-30 - heavy laden, take yoke upon you

yoke /= rest

yoke = work, but work together

We get to work alongside Christ
