Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
"43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip." (John 1:43-46)
"- Can anything good come from there?"
This question still remains... Many people make the same question about you, about your church...
And the answer should be: "-Come and see!"
You don´t need to say anything... People will see with their eyes...
Be confident!
Don´t explain a lot about yourself!
People will see your behavior, your testimony...
People will see your behavior, your testimony...
"47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.” (John 1:43-46)
You must come closer Jesus to know who He is.
He knows you but you must come to see with your own eyes who God is!
Nathanael approached Jesus and had a meeting, an experience with God.
Sometimes you suffer exactly because you are distant of Jesus and you are not able to realize the power of God!
The Lord knows what is in your heart and the words you are going to say, but you must come closer!
Come and be able to see your life transformed!
Come and be moved by the nailed hands of Jesus!
“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.’
5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you. (Job 42:4-5)
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.’
5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you. (Job 42:4-5)
Job knew God and feared God! And we shall fear God too...
This fear of God must provoke changes in us.
No way you can keep on desiring things forbidden and say you don´t do something because of the fear of the Lord.
Let the fear of God transform you so you will no longer desire wrong things.
Let the fear of the Lord change you!
"-Come and see!"
Accept this invitation!
