—John 1:43-51
by: Gabrielle Watt.
Jesus was quickly gaining quite the following. The day after Simon Peter and Andrew followed Jesus, Philip and his brother, Nathaniel (after some convincing) joined them. There are great lessons that can be learned from Philip and Nathaniel. Even though Philip knew who Jesus was and Nathaniel had his doubts, Philip did not try to argue with his brother. He waited for Nathaniel to see for himself. Likewise, we cannot argue people into believing and following Jesus. We can tell them who Jesus is, share our experience, invite them to get to Him, and pray they have an encounter with Him that will change their lives eternally. What can we learn from Nathaniel?
