John 1:35-51
John and Andrew heard his teacher said Jesus is the lamb of GOD, they followed Jesus.
What do you want? "Where are you staying", "Come and you will see"
Andrew found Jesus is the the Messiah, so he found his brother Simon and tell him. Jesus said to Simon " You will be called Cephas(Peter)"
Jesus met Philip next day and said to him "Follow me".
Philip found Nathanael and told him "We found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote.", and "come to see"
When Jesus saw Nathanael he said to him,"Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."
Nathanael believed Jesus is the Son of God and he is the King of Israel. Because he heard Jesus said "I saw you under the fig tree."
Tenth hour: 'Four in the afternoon', is arrived at by counting from 6.am(sunrise). 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. was the customary Jewish way of reckoning time.
V51, that he was thinking about Jacob's dream of a stairway between heaven and earth. Jesus applies the picture to himself.
Nathanael appears to be one of the Twelve, but he is not named in the lists, unless Batholomew was another name for him.
Jesus found his first five disciples.
Why?
When you come to Jesus and you will see He is the Messiah, the savior of life.
All of us have many desire, want to do or get something, What we really want? The spring of life:Jesus.
Andrew found Jesus bring his brother peter to see Jesus, Philip found Jesus bring Nathanael to see Jesus. Good news should share with others, especially to our close relative and friend.
True Israelite is honest man and there is nothing false in him. The Lord looks our heart, our mind.
How?
Follow Jesus is very easy just come and see, don't have to understand the whole bible or clear understand the words of GOD, follow him then we will understand hos words. Follow Jesus like John, Andrew,Peter, Philip and Nathaneal.
