Remember, Levi's life has been transformed. He has left everything, and what does he do first? He hosts a banquet, practicing hospitality. If we don't know what our next step is as a Christian, hospitality is a good place to start. Who can you host for a meal, for a coffee, for a chat? Who can you open your life to?
Jesus goes in to Levi's, and everyone else wonders why he's spending time with the broken, but Jesus reminds them that's exactly who he has come for -- those who are broken in some way. We all qualify for this, but some see it better than others. So may we humbly remember that we are all broken, and give thanks that Jesus comes to us. It's also a good reminder that when you see other people in the world who you are certain are broken, that we should be careful about judging them, because Jesus has come for them, too.
