What does the Bible say about Jesus calling unlikely servants?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that Jesus often calls unlikely individuals, as exemplified by Matthew the tax collector, demonstrating God's grace and sovereignty.

In the Gospel accounts, we see the powerful example of Jesus calling Levi, also known as Matthew, a tax collector, to be His disciple. This act illustrates the divine principle that God's grace reaches even the most unlikely individuals. Just as Matthew was sought by Jesus in a moment of divine intervention, so too does God's grace call each chosen sinner at the appointed time. Romans 9:11-16 emphasizes that God's purpose in election is not based on human merit or works, but solely on His mercy and will. This irresistible call transforms sinners into servants of God, highlighting that every believer is a testament to God's distinguishing grace.
