Matthew the Apostle

One day Matthew met Jesus as collecting taxes there he sat Jesus called him to follow in an instant obey he did just that Just as Jesus accepted Matthew so on a day, I came like Matthew too receiving God's love from Jesus himself and followed the saviour completely true One day Matthew invited Jesus home where they together shared a feast the religious leaders hated all this but the word spread mightily increased Such a blessing to know Jesus having His presence day by day like Matthew, a disciple called on the road eternally to stay In many ways, Matthew is little known like him, so many of us are the same the important things is Jesus knows us He wants us to be His living flame ( I have written on the person of Matthew the apostle and showing where I have learned from his life and testimony)

Gordon, it is so refreshing to see a poem written by a Christian who is unashamed to express their love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know there are some poets on Soup who readily do this, but the number is few. Thank you for sharing this poem on your admiration of the Apostle Matthew. As a matter of information, the 8 principles of Celebrate Recovery are based on the Beatitudes found in the Book of Matthew, chapter 5. Great reading there, and in your poem. Thanks, my friend!
