Who, in the Bible, immediately responded to God's call, leaving behind their life as a tax collector to become one of Jesus' disciples?

Correct Answer

C) Matthew

In Matthew 9:9, Jesus sees Matthew, a tax collector, and calls him to follow Him. Matthew immediately leaves his tax booth and follows Jesus, demonstrating a willingness to leave behind his old life and embrace a new identity as a disciple. This aligns with today's theme of holiness, emphasizing the importance of responding to God's call and committing to a transformed life that reflects God's character. Matthew's story encourages us to wholeheartedly follow Jesus and live a life dedicated to Him.
