When friends invite us to come and try out a new restaurant, a new TV show or new thing, we will often agree. In the Bible book of John, Jesus had called Philip then Philip shared with his friend, Nathanael, that Philip had found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. At first, Nathaniel responded saying, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip didn't respond and instead said to him, “Come and see.” Nathaniel agreed then he made his way to Jesus. The conversation that Jesus had with Nathaniel proved that Jesus had known the previous and private conversation between Philip and Nathaniel. Jesus told Nathaniel that He had seen Nathaniel under the fig tree. It is likely that Nathaniel was studying the scriptures as was a common practice that people would do under fig trees back then. Jesus knew where Nathaniel was and that he was searching for truth. I invite you today to "Come and see" or rather, "Come and listen" and hear more about this story where Nathaniel encounters Jesus. He knows where you are, is aware of your concerns and is able to validate himself to you. I hope you'll listen and be encouraged as you pull into the Garage and let His Word encourage and inspire your heart.
