Mark 2:14 As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.
Can you imagine the authority of Jesus’ voice and demeanour which made each of the disciples stop what they were doing and follow Him?
I have not met many preachers or teachers who have authority to make me stop whatever I am doing and listen; my mind is far too active and races off thinking about too many things!
I can imagine a tax collector having a very logical and calculating mind; yet he too stopped what he was doing to follow Jesus.
Stop what you are doing and give the next five minutes to Christ!
