In the culture of the Bible, each person’s name spoke of their character, nature, and to some, even of their destiny. In this volume, we’ll discover that Mattityahu Levi was a conflicted man who fought against his own inherent destiny. He was a man named after the God who’d given him as a gift to his parents. And he was born into a family known for its closeness and service to Almighty God. Even so, Mattityahu Levi chose to become a tax-collector - a profession considered almost criminal - far removed from knowing and serving the Living God. We’ll discover through Matthew’s own writings more about his personal encounter and experiences with Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. We’ll also learn about Matthew himself, and if we’re paying attention, more about ourselves in the process.
