Christmas at the Table: Judas & Matthew (Luke 5:27-32)

Greedy and Disloyal. Judas and Matthew both represent betrayal. One stabbed in the back. The other turned his back. A surprise attack and a surprise disappearance. Both forgot who they were. Both did it for money. Betrayal pretty much always comes from greed - reckless collection for self that ignored what others relied on being given.

So why did Jesus give them a seat at his table? Because we've got a God who forgives and restores.
