1. Read the well-known account in Luke 5:27-31 of how Jesus went to the house of Levi the tax collector. Then write two imaginary letters, one from Levi to his brother and the other from a leading Pharisee in Jerusalem, both letters giving an account of the day when Jesus met Levi. Try to put yourself imaginatively into the situation of each man who is writing the letter.
