Journey with Matthew: Life and Lessons from Levi the Tax Collector

📖 Introduction

Welcome to a transformative 21-day journey through the life of Matthew, also known as Levi, the tax collector called by Jesus to become one of His disciples. Many know Matthew simply as the author of one of the four Gospels. However, his personal story reveals profound lessons on grace, calling, and obedience.

Matthew’s life was radically changed at the moment Jesus said, “Follow me.” As a tax collector, he held a despised position in society—seen as a collaborator with Roman oppressors and often associated with greed. Yet, Jesus saw beyond his profession and heart condition. This Bible study will take you deep into Matthew’s story, tracing his journey from Levi the tax collector to Matthew the disciple, the evangelist, and the man who penned the life and teachings of Christ.

Throughout these 21 days, you will explore key passages from the Gospel of Matthew, reflection questions, and devotions that illuminate both the historical and personal significance of Matthew’s life and work. This journey is not only about the man himself but also about what his life reveals for all who seek to follow Jesus today.

Embrace this study with an open heart and mind, ready to be challenged and encouraged by the remarkable transformation of a man chosen by Jesus. Each day includes Scriptures, devotional reflections, journaling prompts, and prayers designed to deepen your understanding of God’s grace and your own calling.

May this time spent in God’s Word through Matthew’s lens enrich your faith and inspire you to live fully for Christ.
