[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Opposite You by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

Matthew was an apostle, a gospel writer. But before he was Matthew, he was
Levi: a Jew who worked for the Roman IRS. As long as Rome got its part, the
tax collectors could take as much as they wanted. They got rich by making
people poor.

One of the most difficult relationship questions is “What do we do with a
Levi?” Your Levi is the person with whom you fundamentally disagree. You
follow different value systems. Your Levi is your “opposite you.” What if
your “opposite you” is your boss? Your parent or child?

How does God want us to respond to the Levis of the world? I wonder if the
best answer might be found in: “Accept one another, then, just as Christ
accepted you, in order to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:7). This is how
happiness happens.
