Matthew 9, Psalm 8, Genesis 24-25

I've noticed Jesus in the passages so far is always sure of everything... It's pretty awesome to see actually. He also shows his miracles, but he doesn't do it necessarily to show off, but to make a point.  He says that he has come to call people that think they are righteous, but people that know that they are sinners. In the first encounter with Matthew he seems very blunt but Matthew does not seem to hesitate on following Him. I am just wondering what was going on with Matthew at the time, because he just made it look so simple just to drop everything and go. i'm kinda wondering if Matthew had seen what Jesus had done before Jesus asked him to follow or what was his decision based on because it can be so easy to just get back into the world and consider onto worldly things.
In Psalms, the verses that kinda stuck out the most were 4 and 5 of chapter 8. It says... "...what are people that you should think about them, mere mortals that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor."
although we have sinned, he puts us into a position that is higher than mostly everything else and giving authority to us. even how we keep failing He still gives us another chance...
