Who is Jesus like?
V. 39 To the disciples who wanted to know where Jesus was, He invited them by saying \'a1\'b0come.\'a1\'b1 He gives the disciples an opportunity to get to know Him and also dwells with them, having intimate relationships with them. Even today Jesus wishes to dwell with us and so He invites us. How will you answer?
Vv. 41,42 Jesus, who is the Messiah, changes the lives of His people. Jesus who changed Andrew gives his attention to Peter and promises that he will be like a rock in the future. Let us look forward to the changes Jesus will make in our lives this New Year and go to Him.
Vv. 47,48 Jesus is able to see what kind of person Nathanael is inside, just by looking at the way he approached Him. Upon seeing Peter, Jesus saw his future and even before Philip called Nathanael, Jesus already saw him and knew his heart. What will this same Jesus say to me when He sees what is inside my heart today?
V. 49 He is the Son of God, the King of Israel. Nathanael\'a1\'afs confession is the same as John\'a1\'afs testimony (1:34), and this is the conclusion that all those who read the Gospel of John must come to (20:31). As a true citizen of Israel, what am I confessing about Christ?
Vv. 50,51 He promises to show Nathanael even greater things after hearing what he has confessed. This means that the Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, acts as the ladder between heaven and earth, God and man. Therefore all we need to do is follow the way and the truth and the life, which is Jesus, and receive the complete revelation and glory of God through Him. |

May I open my eyes of faith and see \'a1\'b0the big works\'a1\'b1 that God will reveal.
