Glory to you O Lord
Matthew 9:9-13
9
 As Jesus was walking on from there he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax
office, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him. 10 Now while
he was at table in the house it happened that a number of tax collectors and sinners
came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples.11 When the Pharisees saw this,
they said to his disciples, 'Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?'
12
 When he heard this he replied, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the
sick.13 Go and learn the meaning of the words: Mercy is what pleases me, not
sacrifice. And indeed I came to call not the upright, but sinners.'

Seeking True Satisfaction
Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist,

Just prior to this passage quoted above, Jesus saw Matthew, a tax
collector, sitting at his custom post collecting taxes. Jesus walked up to
him and said two simple words: “Follow me.” What did Matthew do?
He got up and followed Jesus and invited Him to his home for a meal.
When the Pharisees saw this, they acted with judgment and cruelty.
They said, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Their reaction and Jesus’ subsequent response to them says much
about the goodness of our Lord.
When Jesus said that He “did not come to call the righteous but sinners,” He
was not speaking of the truly righteous. For example, the most righteous
person alive at that time, other than Jesus, was His dear mother. And we can
be certain that not only did Jesus call her but that she always responded with
her whole heart. However, Jesus was speaking of those who were “self-
righteous.” A self-righteous person is one who thinks highly of themself,
ignoring the truth of God but choosing, instead, to elevate their own image
in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. Simply put, to be self-righteous is
to believe a lie and, in fact, to believe the worst of lies. It’s the worst of lies
because this sin has the effect of causing a person to remain obstinate and
stuck in their sin. The self-righteous person does not see any need for
repentance or change in their life. Therefore, they are not open to the Word
Saint Matthew, whom we honor today, was different. He was a sinner
indeed. Most likely he was greedy and overly attached to his money. Tax
collectors were not highly regarded at that time because they were Jews who
worked for the Romans and were, therefore, seen as traitors to their own
people. Additionally, they were seen as thieves, because they often extorted
more than they should receive so that they could pocket some of the money.
For this reason, many Jews also feared the tax collectors because they knew
the tax collectors had Rome’s support in this illicit activity. What’s amazing
is that
Jesus approached Matthew, the sinner and tax collector, and confidently
called him to be a follower. Most likely, Jesus could see into his heart. He
knew Matthew was not happy with his life and was searching for more.
Therefore, as soon as Jesus called him to follow Him, it is clear that
something took place within Matthew’s soul. The fact that he got up and
followed our Lord shows that the spiritual draw to Jesus was far more
powerful than his desire for earthly wealth.
This same truth applies to each and every one of us. No matter what we find
ourselves drawn to and no matter how we seek satisfaction in life, the
supernatural truth is that there is only one thing that will satisfy. We could
have all the money in the world, all earthly power and prestige, and still, in
the depths of our souls, we will not find peace until we turn to Jesus and
follow Him. Some people learn this truth early in life, some later in life, and
some never discover it at all.
