Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13

Psalm 19:1-3, 4 (opening two lines)

Matthew 9:9-13

Matthew got up when Jesus called him. That’s where a changed life starts: answering the call you’ve actually been given. And Paul reminds us that we’ve got to make room for one another along the way. We’ve been given different gifts, and those gifts come with work to do for somebody besides ourselves. That takes patience with the person who’s still learning, and enough humility to admit when I’m that person. Jesus sat down with people the respectable crowd had already written off. I ought to remember that before deciding who deserves my time. A little humility, some patience, and mercy for the person beside us are part of walking worthy of that calling.
