“God’s mercy leads to our sacrifice”
Not everyone is called as Matthew and the other apostles were called or even as pastors today are called. But, God’s having mercy by sacrificing Jesus for us does change us, and we have mercy on others and sacrifice for them.

Not all of the lost sheep gathered are willing to stay in the Good Shepherd’s hand; some can and do wiggle free, and so Jesus gives real warnings against falling away and being lost.
