Now, I am the "Broken Man" David described of himself in Psalm 51.

@@johnnyb7628our best resolution to your new found freedom is in seeking deliverence and healing. Seek out a deliverence minister in a spirit filled church and you will be free from spirt of pride, anger and rejection. Those things are a stronghold- unclean spirits. Then be filled with the holy spirit and the gift of tongues. You might need more than a one time deliverence if you've wrestling with it for a long time. Then once your fully delivered strive to live for the Lord. Remove all things from your life that does not serve the Lord. Righteoues way of living is picking up your cross and having a repentance heart. Then, invite King Jesus to live inside you. You must Surrender fully! After your deliverence, you will have a renewed mind and your spirit will be reformed as well. I hope this message helps you to seek wisdom and understanding and most of all the spirit of discernment. God bless you on your walk to the truth and to be finally set from your all the pain and setbacks in life! Praise God, amen! 🙏
Yes, we see this kind of thing today in Karen's who think they're so high and mighty with their false accusations, only to be humbled when the police arrive.
I cry every time. All of us are the tax collectors in this example. The message Christ was conveying is that of humility NOT judgement of others. Many Christians forget this and judge others harshly while ignoring their own sins. Christ abhors hypocrisy. Don't ever forget that his last message to us was "to love one another, as he has loved us'. Act in his example of love, forgiveness, humility and righteousness. That is the whole point of God coming to earth in human form: to teach us to live by his example so that we may find eternal life with him.
It is perfect what you have said. This scene alone struck me to which I have watched it multiple times. Like you said, we all need to humble ourselves. I know people with different faiths of Abraham who need to practice it more. I see a resemblance between the Pharisee then and many Christians today.
Tye Joyce I couldn't agree more. I also believe it is God's enemy's way of pushing away people who might be open to the Christ's message but only see the hypocrisy in some believers: therefore the message is rejected. Satan's number one goal is to steer as many away from salvation as possible. Christians acting as modern day pharisees are guilty in this sin and need to wake up.
***** Very correct Gina. I must admit that I have been a sinner my entire life. I am 26 and have only recently begun to allow Jesus in to my life. It is very easy for the smoke of Satan to block our paths, we simply need to admit we cannot see through it ourselves and need guidance. Once through the smoke, the fresh air never seemed so beautiful! :)
@محمد عبداللہ الہندی why do you think so? is he not the almighty one? for him is nothing impossible. so he can do what he want, because he is the owner of the whole universe. who is the human who will limit his possibilities with words like what he can do or not can do? our mind is too small to fit his size. we have been fooled by satan and the whole humanity was divided from god. he send his lamb for sacrificing his blood like a qurban in your religion. so if you believe that god do that for you, you can become his spirit in your heart. you don‘t know what i have feel after i decided to believe in this sacrifice. in my heart was a flame that have burned away the satan. im was possessed from the spirit of satan, because i sold my soul to him for a wish. after god has forgive me and made my heart clean out of my sins, gods spirit came into my heart and sealed my heart so the satan can no more possess me again. no one wants to be in the see of fire after this live. i have seen it in a form of prophecy, because god wanted to open my eyes. i saw that i‘m a sinner. during the prozess of cleaning my heart, i have seen so many images of prophecy of god that will blow every mind. you telling this us, because you have never read the inshil. why you believe what humans said? i have read the quran. so why you don’t read the inshil? read it and decide for you what is the truth. don’t let humans decide for you. search for the truth and the truth will let you find it. there is much more behind this live than you know.
+trish030608 Me too, Trish. The grace and mercy of God is so overwhelming. When you see this clip of Jesus and Matthew it really hits hard. I've always said that my favorite attributes of God are His Wonderful Mercy and Grace. Without which I would be destroyed. I am Born Again, and He has forgiven me of much. When we stumble and sin, even during our walk, He is so faithful in forgiving us if we are faithful in confessing. Just like our own children, they mess up, even though they know better. But parents don't love their kids because they never break the rules, we love them in spite of it. I don't only do good for my kids because they are always good, but just because they are my kids. And likewise, I will never disown them for wrongdoing. God doesn't take away our salvation because we sin after we have become Born Again, because we became His children. As His children, we are forgiven already even before we ask. So once you become born again, unless you deny Him completely and turn away from Him, you can never lose your salvation. How wonderful is He for that. Mercy and Grace of God are so awesome.
The calling of Matthew has to be one of my favorite parts of Jesus' ministry. Imagine it: this Jewish man works as a tax collector, possibly losing all of his friends and (in their culture) shaming his family. Yet Jesus teaches that those who are sinners and realize it, humbly asking for mercy and forgiveness, will earn it from God- and more. That is why He called to sinners more than the righteous, because it gives the sinners hope for redemption and even a better life.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. Luke 7:47 KJV
GOD IS GLORY, The time for revelation is now, GOD IS WARNING ALL OF US TO REPENT, because GOD does not want any us (his children) to go to hell, that’s why when we sin, he stays silent because he has mercy on our souls and he gives us a chance to repent, GOD IS GRACE AND GOD I S GREAT ALL THE TIME, Psalms 14: “ Only a fool would say that there is no GOD” If you see this and your don’t believe in GOD you are a FOOL or you are brainwashed, GOD IS VERY REAL, JESUS IS REAL, HE IS NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE MADE UP, HE IS REAL!!!!!!!, AND HE IS COMING SOON, I HAVE REPENTED AGAINST MY SINS AND GOD HAS HELPED ME FINISHED THE BATTLE WITH PORNOGRAPHY, FOR PORNOGRAPHY IS LUST, I JUST THANK GOD FOR CLEANSING ME FROM SIN AND EVIL AND DISOBEDIENCE AND HE HAS WASHED ALL IF THAT AWAY FROM MY HEART AND HE HAS FILLED MY HEART UP, JUST BECAUSE WE CANT SEE GOD, DOES NOT MEAN HES NOT REAL, BECAUSE IS REAL, AND GOD IS THE WAY AND HE WILL SAVE YOU FROM SORROW AND SEXUAL SIN AND OTHER EVIL SIN, GOD WILL SAVE YOU FROM ALL OF THAT, FOR HE IS OUR SHEILD FROM THE DEVIL, AND I REBUKE THE DEVIL IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS,I WILL NEVER IGNORE THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS CHRIST, FOR HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR ME, I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO IGNORE HIS SACRIFICE AND THE FACT THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME, I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST,GOD IS GLORY,GOD IS ALMIGHTY, AND GOD IS GREAT ALL THE TIME, JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LORD AND SAVOIR,FOR YOU DIED FOR ME ON THE CROSS FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS, I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, AND I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU FOR YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY JESUS CHRIST AND YOU ARE THE WAY,THE TRUTH,AND THE LIFE, AND YOU ARE MOST DEFINITELY THE KING OF ALL KINGS, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I PRAY TO YOU O HEAVENLY FATHER,AMEN🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴😇😇😇😇😇😇😇💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
nic tamere Jesus is something else my friend.. I hope you come to know him as your personal Savior. No one can touch a heart and change a life like he can :) he gives hope to the hopeless , sight to the blind, love to the unloved, in a way which is divine.
This makes me so happy. I always picture me as Matthew and seeing God himself saying "It's okay. You're forgiven." Praise God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Yes I do indeed cry when I watch this scene. I know some people didn't like this series. All opinions on the series aside this scene speaks directly to the hearts of believers inJesus Christ. Pray for those who don't believe in Christ, and share your testimony so that they might know the realness of his love and of the need to repent. This scene really does get me every time guys. I was once an atheist and I'm so glad God forgave me because I don't think I deserved it but he showed he exists and forgave me.
God bless you brother, any man or woman who is humble enough to admit that he or she is a sinner and begs for mercy from God then they will have it because that defines his love for all of us.
As a young man who is not religious but very open to God, I find this is a very powerful scene, as is the parable it references. For those who are so sure of their own righteousness should be reminded of their fallibility as human beings, and those who have the humility and courage to admit their humanity and their wrongs should be praised. As I said, I'm not religious, but I think there are many great lessons in the Bible, particularly in the Parables, that show how people ought to act towards their fellow man, and generally how one should lead an honest life.
BestWayKilla, I couldn’t agree more, friend. Gods (Jesus’) message was a powerful one - the most powerful message in human history in fact - but that is rather a subjective matter, I would say. I hope throughout the past 5 years that You’ve found Christ. The WAY, the TRUTH and most certainly the LIFE. God Bless You. P.s. I would in courage You to read The Bible. Love.
You don't have to be religious Religion is man made, but there is God and there is Jesus and he does love you and me and all that he created and grasping that consept just means youre intellectually acknowledge facts. Not religion.
There have been times where I felt like how Matthew felt, unworthy of Gods grace. But I know God still loves me no matter what and as long as I believe and trust in him and have a relationship with Jesus Christ I will always be blessed and also my middle name is Matthew
What joy His Apostles must have felt touching the very hands that created them... what joy to see the face of your Creator, the privilege to be able to hear His voice and see His face, to be held by your Creator.. oh how I long for the day I get to see my Creator and kiss His feet with joy and tears in my eyes. Thank you Jesus for saving me, a sinner.
Look at the love of God. We're all sinners, nevertheless when we humble ourselves and know that we cannot justify ourselves and we need him. LOOK WHAT HE DOES! Our God is an amazing, loving, merciful God.
The whole Movie was great. My Mom named me Matthew. This part was my favorite not just because i was named after him but how a person who nobody liked because of his job. He humbled himself and God choose to give him Grace and Favor. 😊
I did not know it was St. Matthew until Jesus said "Matthew"... Im pretty sure, in the Gospels, Jesus said this parable long after he had called Matthew, but it's still very touching
Its so wonderful how GoD forgives us yet we still fall into temptation O Father in H eaven hear me and forgive me for all the wrongs and help me do the right things in life.
It takes a special kind of humility to ask God for mercy. Some people don't care about God's forgiveness. Some are even proud of their bad behavior. Some don't even think God exists. Some even hate God.
The actor who plays the tax collector, was just moving! We can see ourselves in his place ( providing that we learn to humble ourselves to God.) When you've been through something, you truly understand it...Amen!
One thing I absolutely love about this show, is it captures so many amazing things. The actors who portrayed the apostles did phenomenal, the actor who played Jesus also did very amazing. There chemistry together is amazing and this show brings me too tears so many times, this series is so faith lifting. it is one of my tv shows ever made. God is good!
Accept Jesus the Christ as your Lord and repent your sins. This is the very least what the Lord want from you on Salvation. The Holy Spirit shall be within you - to teach and guide you. Knowing you are a sinner you shall be humbled, and you will follow the Word of our Father in Heaven. No one is sinless yet through the blood of Jesus Christ we are redeemed, therefore our relationship with God reconciled; He calls us to be holy because He is holy.
I come back to this clip often. The tears we cry is our identification with this humble sinner. But they are tears of joy in the knowledge that like Matthew, we are forgiven completely. There is no greater forgiveness than the perfect forgiveness of our Lord Jesus. It's so beautiful. That is how I know that Christ is the true son of God. Our faith has both the acknowledgement that we are always going to be deeply flawed, even evil, and yet saves us completely from all of it...even as we continue to sin! We can't help it, we were born into sin as imperfect human beings. But whether we deserve it or not, we are let off the hook, for free, because a man suffered unimaginable torment in our place. I AM SAVED! I AM SO GRATEFUL MY LORD!
I fell out of the church for 4-5 years after I went to college and joined a frat and sinned everyday but a good friend of mine who pledged with me was a Jew who had a spiritual awakening and turned to Jesus after meeting a preacher on an internship we had together in Texas (we go to school in Florida) and people always say they found Jesus but I truly believe that Jesus found me and brought me back into the fold through a great friend of mine. He got me to start reading the Bible (witch I had never read growing up in the church) and he helped me open my eyes to gods glory. At the time I was really depressed and felt so much guilt from the things I did and didn’t do and this clip and parable from the Bible brought me to tears. I am the tax collector. I am not worthy of god’s forgiveness and mercy yet but because of my good friend I believe I am on the road to betting myself and being the man god wants me to be. Thank god for this clip and and thank god for bringing my good friend into my life in the den of sinners. (You never know where he will find you) god bless all of you and I wish nothing it the best for everyone. (The road is always there for us to follow no matter how many times we may fall)- Joshua graham
This part always humbles me in spirit and always feel shame as I know I at times put myself higher than others when I'm still dirt compared to God when it comes to doing good works.
I truly believe my lord Jesus Christ is the son of god I have heard so many quotes that he said and it just blows me away only Jesus being the son of god could Speak like that
We hear this Gospel passage every year on the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee as our first Pre-Lenten Sunday at my Byzantine parish and it gets me every time. It’s my favorite reading and one that when I die, which I will one day, requested to have chanted at my funeral with the story of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus from the dead. I still get goosebumps every time.
This scene breaks my heart because there are people in this world still living a life like Matthew. Uploading an image to be powerful and wealthy to the world but dying inside and there's no one there to tell them how much God loves them.
"Now He even calls the SINNERS to follow Him"........(thank God for that. I'd be out of luck otherwise).

I get chills thinking about it.
That's why he's Jesus.

So powerful; a savior worth following forever just like Matthew did.
He surely did bless Matthew that day, offering him everything for the low cost of his riches. Knowing full well he was going to get up and follow him.

Can see the feeling of the tax collector , makes me cry why ? As a sinner I'm bless an I cry too !
Got me too brother
A real Father worries about his lost children.
This is so touching. We are all tax collectors and Jesus calls us to join him when we humble ourselves.
And still his hand ia stretched out
This kills me every time I watch it, The raw emotion is so insane.
Very raw, indeed.
"Now He even calls the sinners to follow Him!"
Yep, that's kind of the point.
cried a little watching this scene...amen
Yes, I was laughing so hard I was crying.
"Now he even calls the sinners to follow him." I'm so glad he did for I would be lost and broken.
Matthew looks very nervous and unsettled at first until Jesus repeats his prayer to God
One of my favorite Biblical depictions I've ever seen.
One of mine too.
I cry at this every time.
+MAnuscript421 =)
This is the best example of how pride keeps many away from God’s mercy and grace. Very powerful scene.
That was great acting by the man who plays Matthew
Jesus can heal every heart no matter how damanged. ❤️
Very true.
Jesus be Praised!
I love you Jesus Christ. I promise that I will serve you with all my heart from this day onwards 'til the end of times. Amen
Great, now pray in secret with your hands folded and you actually saying this to talk to god himself.
You have spoken something very beautiful. Keep up the Loyal heart that you have.
There have been times where I felt like how Matthew felt, unworthy of Gods grace. But I know God still loves me no matter what and as long as I believe and trust in him and have a relationship with Jesus Christ I will always be blessed and also my middle name is Matthew
What joy His Apostles must have felt touching the very hands that created them... what joy to see the face of your Creator, the privilege to be able to hear His voice and see His face, to be held by your Creator.. oh how I long for the day I get to see my Creator and kiss His feet with joy and tears in my eyes. Thank you Jesus for saving me, a sinner.
I cried just like Matthew at this scene.T_T
amen Jesus Christ is Lord
Look at the love of God. We're all sinners, nevertheless when we humble ourselves and know that we cannot justify ourselves and we need him. LOOK WHAT HE DOES! Our God is an amazing, loving, merciful God.
Thanks to our Lord and Saviour atoning sacrifice, a man can change completely..Any man!❤
It feels like you are actually there!!!! Listening to the stories!!! make you feel like you are actually in the bible !!!!
This scene always touches my heart. Makes me weep.
Me too. I will always find a very special strength from this scene.
@@mikebasil4832 - It is a beautiful, beautiful scene.
I love this scene.
God bless you.
Every time I watch this scene i cry...
Imagine Jesus looking right and you and speaking what’s in your heart
Just a reminder that it's never to late to be saved. And that there's always a secend change.
This scene was so powerful. The part where the tax collector cried made it so real. I looked up the scripture and now know it by heart
The most moving example of compassion that I have ever learned. Thank you so much, Jesus. ✝👼🏻💜
It is so haaard to humble yourself and even harder to not judge people if you can do this you are truly blessed
Christ be praised
I have no other choice, no other way but to follow Jesus for i too am a sinner. thank you Jesus.
This scene gets me to tears every time i watch and think of it. Holy spirit is truly in me amen!
The whole Movie was great. My Mom named me Matthew. This part was my favorite not just because i was named after him but how a person who nobody liked because of his job. He humbled himself and God choose to give him Grace and Favor. 😊
Thank you Lord that you are the god of mercy. I live by your grace akone.
Whenever I feel pretty low, I watch this scene. It's encapsulates the reason. God is sovereign.
Michael Howell Amen. I was feeling pretty low and this parable encouraged me. It is so simple and beautiful.
I did not know it was St. Matthew until Jesus said "Matthew"... Im pretty sure, in the Gospels, Jesus said this parable long after he had called Matthew, but it's still very touching
Its so wonderful how GoD forgives us yet we still fall into temptation O Father in H eaven hear me and forgive me for all the wrongs and help me do the right things in life.
One of the best scenes.
It takes a special kind of humility to ask God for mercy. Some people don't care about God's forgiveness. Some are even proud of their bad behavior. Some don't even think God exists. Some even hate God.
I love the performance of the actor playing Mathew….I really felt the message of this passage from him
The actor who plays the tax collector, was just moving! We can see ourselves in his place ( providing that we learn to humble ourselves to God.) When you've been through something, you truly understand it...Amen!
One thing I absolutely love about this show, is it captures so many amazing things. The actors who portrayed the apostles did phenomenal, the actor who played Jesus also did very amazing. There chemistry together is amazing and this show brings me too tears so many times, this series is so faith lifting. it is one of my tv shows ever made. God is good!
Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Each time I've seen the clip of Jesus calling Matthew I've been overwhelmed by the mercy & grace our Lord shows us-inspite of ourselves.
Imagine what went through Matthew's mind, the Son of Man fixing his gaze on you, and you know in your heart you're unworthy.
Jesus showed that Pharisee who's boss!
Yes!
Amen!
🖕🏻 the pharisee
His name was Yahshua and He wasn't white
@Mr Leg ah, shut up!
I often feel like the tax collector when I go to church. This scene makes me emotional every time I see it.
Forgive me lord! I am a sinner ! I don’t deserve your mercy. But I humiliate myself . In your presence .
Just living by a set of rules are not enough.(outward show of holiness).what matter to God is inner lives(humbleness,merciful,perfect heart...).
Accept Jesus the Christ as your Lord and repent your sins. This is the very least what the Lord want from you on Salvation. The Holy Spirit shall be within you - to teach and guide you. Knowing you are a sinner you shall be humbled, and you will follow the Word of our Father in Heaven. No one is sinless yet through the blood of Jesus Christ we are redeemed, therefore our relationship with God reconciled; He calls us to be holy because He is holy.
Not my favorite adaptation, but whoa, this scene is so beautiful and powerful!
I come back to this clip often. The tears we cry is our identification with this humble sinner. But they are tears of joy in the knowledge that like Matthew, we are forgiven completely. There is no greater forgiveness than the perfect forgiveness of our Lord Jesus. It's so beautiful. That is how I know that Christ is the true son of God. Our faith has both the acknowledgement that we are always going to be deeply flawed, even evil, and yet saves us completely from all of it...even as we continue to sin! We can't help it, we were born into sin as imperfect human beings. But whether we deserve it or not, we are let off the hook, for free, because a man suffered unimaginable torment in our place. I AM SAVED! I AM SO GRATEFUL MY LORD!
Everytime I see him I get teary eyed with a big smile I love you King Jesus Christ
I fell out of the church for 4-5 years after I went to college and joined a frat and sinned everyday but a good friend of mine who pledged with me was a Jew who had a spiritual awakening and turned to Jesus after meeting a preacher on an internship we had together in Texas (we go to school in Florida) and people always say they found Jesus but I truly believe that Jesus found me and brought me back into the fold through a great friend of mine. He got me to start reading the Bible (witch I had never read growing up in the church) and he helped me open my eyes to gods glory. At the time I was really depressed and felt so much guilt from the things I did and didn’t do and this clip and parable from the Bible brought me to tears. I am the tax collector. I am not worthy of god’s forgiveness and mercy yet but because of my good friend I believe I am on the road to betting myself and being the man god wants me to be. Thank god for this clip and and thank god for bringing my good friend into my life in the den of sinners. (You never know where he will find you) god bless all of you and I wish nothing it the best for everyone.
(The road is always there for us to follow no matter how many times we may fall)- Joshua graham
Goes to show the Lord is demonstrating he heard his prayer through a parable amazing!
I cry every-time I see this. Blessed are us in the name of Jesus our Savior
The best best best movie of Jesus. He act so well!!! he in his eyes shows so much peace and love. I LOVE IT
This part always humbles me in spirit and always feel shame as I know I at times put myself higher than others when I'm still dirt compared to God when it comes to doing good works.
My God, gets me every time! Thank you Lord for your love, kindness, and mercy! 😢😫🙌
Makes me tear up everytime.
Jesus He made Mathew cry... i felt it too ..
The acting from the tax collector, its like he's not even acting. Very moving. I love how he mirrors what Jesus says. Great clip
This is the best scene of the entire movie. The Lord brought this scene to my memory.
Mine too and I always embrace it.
Always wise always loving always forgiving always merciful always bringing joy always willing to cure a broken heart THATS JESUS MY LORD MY KING!!!!
Surfer Jesus doesn't have time for banter. He jumps right into the story. Good on you, Jesus.
I just don't understand why this world did't love Him and the worst is this world hates Him. He is full of mercy!! Jesus bless us all.
prise the lord! i‘m really thankful for sacrificing him self to wipe out of all our sins from past to future.
I truly believe my lord Jesus Christ is the son of god I have heard so many quotes that he said and it just blows me away only Jesus being the son of god could Speak like that
Watching this on Christmas Day 😊
When I first saw this...I almost cried.
We are like Matthew the tax collector we keep sinning but God is always there for us. The grace of God is beautiful.
My favorite scene of this series. I always cry.
A beautiful scene 😢
Amen to you it’s very good to see someone who really appreciates this beautiful scene I see myself in this account 😢
Why can't I stop watching this!?!?
It's like 5 years later and I keep on coming back here.
We hear this Gospel passage every year on the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee as our first Pre-Lenten Sunday at my Byzantine parish and it gets me every time. It’s my favorite reading and one that when I die, which I will one day, requested to have chanted at my funeral with the story of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus from the dead. I still get goosebumps every time.
This scene breaks my heart because there are people in this world still living a life like Matthew. Uploading an image to be powerful and wealthy to the world but dying inside and there's no one there to tell them how much God loves them.
JESUS is so kind and awesome.. His closer to us than lovely parents. I'm proud to walk with Him.
God have mercy on me.. I haved sinned..
