Read John 1:43-51
43 The
next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Come
with me!” 44(Philip was from Bethsaida, the town where Andrew and
Peter lived.) 45Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found
the one whom Moses wrote about in the book of the Law and whom the prophets
also wrote about. He is Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
46 “Can
anything good come from Nazareth?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and
see,” answered Philip.
47 When
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, he said about him, “Here is a real
Israelite; there is nothing false in him!”
48 Nathanael
asked him, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered,
“I saw you when you were under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 “Teacher,”
answered Nathanael, “you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus
said, “Do you believe just because I told you I saw you when you were under the
fig tree? You will see much greater things than this!” 51And
he said to them, “I am telling you the truth: you will see heaven open and
God’s angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man.”
Think
"Here is truly an
Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
An interesting compliment
from Jesus.
So much of life has to do
with deceit; pretending we're better; pretending we're more clever, pretending
everything is fine when it is not.
Pray
Lord, help me to be true.
