I remember the day, as if it happened yesterday. I was sitting at my counter in the Customs Office, beside the lake when the Man called Jesus and some of His followers approached. He headed directly toward me with His eyes fixed on mine, looking at me intently; as though He was studying me; perhaps, seeing something of my past and future, in that gaze.
Then He spoke. He said, “Come with Me!” He didn’t say where we were going; and, I didn’t ask. All I knew was that something inside me compelled me to want to follow Him, and to learn everything I could about Him. Not only did I want to understand His mission, I wanted to understand what the prophets had foretold about Him. I knew who He was. He was the promised Messiah. Perhaps, some day I would be able to explain to people what I saw. [Story Based on the Bible Reference – Matthew 9:9]
