Today’s Scripture: The
next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him,
"Follow me." 44 Now Philip was from
Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip
found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in
the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph." 46 Nathan'a-el said to him,
"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him,
"Come and see." John
1:43-46
Reflection: There
are times when we have seen nurses who seem to know better than doctors. And
there are times when there are mechanics who would know better than automobiles
engineers. An ordinary housewife may
dish out a better and more palatable spread than a professional chef.
Did Jesus recognize this expertise in Phillip, who proves his
calling, when he immediately sets out calling on Nathanael to follow Jesus?
The
message for each one is this: Jesus is the safest bet, the best search word,
offering true meaning to all of life’s problems.
If
the highest of authorities; Moses and the Prophets have spoken about him then
he is the sure and definite one. There can be no authority on earth greater
than these, for the Jews, in showing them the path of true life. The apostle Phillip picked this up well and
proclaimed him as such immediately.
Prayer: Lord,
may this encounter with you take away whatever doubt I may carry about you.
