See And Hear For Yourselves

Scripture: Nathanael: 46 “How can anything good come from a place like Nazareth?” Philip: “Come with me, and see for yourself.” 47 As Philip and Nathanael approached, Jesus saw Nathanael and spoke to those standing around Him. Jesus: “Look closely, and you will see an Israelite who is a truth-teller.” Nathanael (overhearing Jesus): 48 “How would You know this about me? We have never met.” Jesus: “I have been watching you before Philip invited you here. Earlier in the day, you were enjoying the shade and fruit of the fig tree. I saw you then.” Nathanael: 49 “Teacher, I am sorry – forgive me. You are the One—God’s own Son and Israel’s King.” Jesus: 50 “Nathanael, if all it takes for you to believe is My telling you I saw you under the fig tree, then what you will see later will astound you. The miracles you will witness are greater than your imagination can comprehend. 51 I tell you the truth: before our journey is complete , you will see the heavens standing open while heavenly messengers ascend and descend, swirling around the Son of Man. (John 1:46-51 The Voice) I believe that like Nathanael, we still have the opportunity today to see and hear. Are we willing to open our hearts and minds to the truths that come before us? If we are truly open I know we can see and hear. We can then be not only a truth-believer, but a truth-teller. Father, thank You that You do make Your truth available to those of us who believe today and then give us the opportunity to share this truth with others. I love You. AMEN Lord, You are my helper and my Savior. Thank You for thinking about me right now. I love Your salvation. You are great! Psalm 40
