Mark 2:13-14

13 Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and
     taught the crowds that gathered around him.
14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus
     sitting at his tax-collection booth.
     "Come, be my disciple," Jesus said to him.
     So Levi got up and followed him. (NLT)

Jesus was always on the move, He always had a task to complete and He was never idle for long. He was continually teaching others by word and by action the Word of God.
What were you doing when Jesus called you? Where was your life heading when Jesus called you? In the days of Jesus tax-collectors were considered the scum of the earth, the worst of the worst sinners or the greediest of the greedy. The only friends you had were other tax-collectors because nobody wanted to be your friend. If you were a tax-collector everyone hated you and the Romans just used you and despised you. Jesus wants you to remember where you were when He called you so that you can see how far He has brought you from when He said to you "Come, be my disciple." Let’s continue our journey the same way Levi did, he got up and followed Jesus.
