A Man Named Matthew

The narration of a sermon delivered by C. H. Spurgeon, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, London.

As Mr. Spurgeon comments, 'This is a little bit of autobography'. In his address we are taken to that verse which tells us - "As Jesus passed forth from thence, He saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and He saith unto him, follow me. And he arose, and followed Him."

He then tells us that: "I do not think that there is any part of Matthews Gospel that touched him more than this portion in which he was writing down the story of divine love to himself, and of how he himself was called to be a disciple of Christ."

Mr.Spurgeon then proceeds to draw out from this account, a challenge to his hearers, to reflect upon how God called them to faith in Jesus Christ, but at the same time issuing a call to the unconverted, to believe upon Christ for salvation.
