bours came to hear him in the courts of the temple at jerusalem pilgrims listened to him rattier than to the official teachers of the law even outofdoors on a hillside or by the sea crowds followed him and be used thtise opportunities for teaching why did the multitudes show such interest was it not because he re vealed them to themselves and also gave to them a consciousness of god they felt that he was in touch with a spiritual power about which they wished to know he had an attitude mind and a quality of life that awakened yearnings within them his sympathy tor the people who formed his audience was felt by them he put truth in such a clear and mem orable way that they wished to re maln under the spell of his thinking and speaking the tax collector 14 to be a tax collector under the ro man government was a profitable oc cupatlon levi the son of aiphaeus this tax collector vho was despised by his fellow countrymen wa ed to become a disciple he gave up his lucrative job and followed jesus without hope of gal matthew lost his public position but lie gained a greater opportunity he became the author of the first gospel which re cords more of the teachings ot jesus than the other three gospels mat thew has sometimes been described as a business man who devoted his ex perlence and ability to the service of christ there are many business men who are serving without remunera tlon upon public commissions and up on the committees or the church who make available their wide knowledge and sound judgment unselfishly the good of others matthew was not a self seeker and he forgot himself into immortality the physician 15 17 the scribes and pharisees were- scandalized at the aj in which jesus associated with publicans and sinners the religious leaders of the jews fre quently despised these outcasts add would not speak to them jesus ate with them public and even called one of them to be a disciple jesus spoke of himself as a physician car lng for the sick he came to call sinners lo repentance he went where there was need christ believed that sinners could be chanrcd that levi the publican could become matthew the apostle that could become feler a steadfast

sin in the human heart contagiosa joy 18 the followers of john the baptist could not understand the gladness of jesus and his disciples they re minded him that johns disciples fasted they wondered why the dis ciples of jesus feasted jesus liken ed his companionship with jus dis clples to a marriage feast a glad oc casion in which rastlng would have been inappropriate and at which feasting was appropriate we can tiardly understand the utter joy of the disciples in the companionship of their lord there came a time or course when the disciples were in a mood for fasting their master was crucified but this time of dejection did not last long for the risen christ made himself known by the power of the holy spirit the unseen companionship became most zeal christianity will recover its attrac tiveness to the average man when we recapture the first rapturous joy of the disciples and the apostolic chris tlans the reason for this abiding joy is the consciousness of the love of god and the release that comes through faith in the living christ we arc untrue to our master u we are long faced and complaining he was a man of joy his spiritual radi ance transformed others and this same radiance of soul is attractive today friendship with christ gives us cause for abiding joy the new society zlzz the conflict in poi of v 1 we hare many people oatnnnv ted to the christian way of life
