REFLECTION - JESUS' CALL
====================================================================
Jesus called Matthew while he was at his work, and he left
everything and followed the Lord. In this he was no different from
the other disciples, but his case was rather more surprising. While
Jesus' first disciples were ordinary fishermen, Matthew belonged to
a group that was shunned by devout people. Tax collectors were
unpopular because they worked for the Romans and tended to use the
opportunity to line their own pockets. Even honest tax collectors
are never the most popular people in society, and we have no reason
to think that Matthew was better than most of his colleagues.
The Pharisees saw in Matthew someone to condemn, rather than someone
in need of help. They were more concerned with preserving their
own purity than with helping those most in need of spiritual
nourishment; but Jesus saw in Matthew a human being who could
repent and follow Him. Jesus calls us where we are, whoever we are
and whatever we do. We do not have to be virtuous before He calls
us; on the contrary, it is because we are sinners that we need to
turn to Him for help. It is just as well for all of us that Jesus
came into the world to save sinners, and loves us the same way no
matter how many sins we have committed.
Jesus gave the perfect answer to the Pharisees. We cannot disagree
that it is the sick who most need a doctor, the sinful who most
need Jesus Christ. Yet we do not always live as if this were true.
Christians can easily end up thinking more like the Pharisees than
Christ, regarding themselves as more righteous than others and
only spending time with those who are (at least outwardly) upright
and religious.
Would we have been among those who wondered why Jesus spent time
with such sinful people? In our own society there are many people
who are condemned and marginalized. Do we reach out to them and
seek to bring them God's love? Do we go beyond our comfortable
circle of friends and fellow Christians, and look for those who
most need the healing that only Jesus can bring? Let us ask the
Lord in His call to us to help us recognize our own sinfulness
and need for forgiveness, and extend His mercy to all those
enslaved by sin, so that we can then rejoice with them in the fact
that Jesus came into this world to save sinners.
