Jesus chose the crooked tax collector to be one of the 12 Disciples. This is one of Jesus' strongest statements on the value He sees in even the worst of humankind.  He demonstrates that there is hope for everyone.  Any of us can turn our life around if we accept His invitation.  And, as Christ followers, we can love like Jesus by "Finding Matthews" of today, and taking a chance on them.  Are you up to the challenge?
