FRIDAY 5th JANUARY 2024
John 1, 43-51
“Jesus meets Philip and says to him: “FOLLOW ME”. Philip finds Nathanael and says to him: “WE HAVE FOUND JESUS. COME AND SEE.
Philip meets Jesus and this encounter leads to a following. Philip gets to know Jesus and deals with Jesus. And so he knows from experience who Jesus is.
You will only get to know Jesus by dealing with him and the more you deal with him the more you will get to know him. Just as you will get to know a friend to the extent that you get to know him.
Philip, when he meets Jesus, introduces him to others, introduces him to Nathanael. But he introduces him not with beautiful and theoretical words but with an invitation that springs from his own experience: “COME AND SEE”.
– What is your knowledge of Jesus based on, on theories or on experience?
– How are you going to try to know Jesus from your own experience, from your own dealings with Him?
– Do you dare to invite others to get to know him better?
Good day to you.
