John 1, 43-51:
“Jesus finds 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 meeting leads to a follow-up.
Philip treats Jesus and deals with Jesus. And so he knows from experience who Jesus is.
You will only know Jesus by dealing with him and the more you deal with him the more you will know him.
Just as you will know a friend as you deal with him.
Philip, when he meets Jesus, introduces him to others, introduces him to Nathanael.
But he introduces him not with nice, theoretical words but with an invitation that comes from his own experience: “COME AND SEE.
* On what is your knowledge of Jesus based: on some theories or on an 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 know Him better?
Good day.
