Hi! and happy good Thursday to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" today:
THE GOOD NEWS (05 January 2017)
"The next day, JESUS decided to set off for Galilee. HE found Philip and said to him, 'Follow me.' Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, 'We have found the one that Moses wrote about in the Law, and the prophets as well: HE is JESUS, son of Joseph, from Nazareth.'
Nathanael replied, 'Can anything good come from Nazareth? Philip said to him, 'Come and see.' When JESUS saw Nathanael coming, HE said of him, 'Here comes an Israelite, a true one; there is nothing false in him.' Nathanael asked HIM, 'How do YOU know me?' And JESUS said to him, 'Before Philip called you, you were under the fig tree and I saw you.'
Nathanael answered, 'Master, YOU are the Son of GOD! YOU are the King of Israel!' But JESUS replied, 'You believe because I said: 'I saw you under the fig tree.' But you will see greater things than that.
Truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of GOD ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.'" - John 1:43-51
Philip Telling Nathanael About JESUS
(The two disciples recognized JESUS. It would be more exact to say that JESUS recognized those whom the FATHER had entrusted to HIM. Thus HE recognized Nathanael when he was under the fig tree. Among the Jews, this expression referred to a teacher of the Law engaged in teaching religion, since ordinarily they taught under the shade of a tree. In the same way, JESUS recognized Simon whom the FATHER chose to be the first Rock of the Church [Matthew 16:13].
You will see the heavens opened. Jacob's dream [Genesis 28:12].)
