Today’s Thought “A Savior on My Terms” G. Ward John 1 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets also wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!” 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” Technology, with all its fabulous ingenuity has allowed what was an arduous process in most things to become easier, but it won’t conform the soul onto a rightful meditative progression, because mankind will always get too comfortable with things he can see or touch versus substantive values that counts when I’m depleted, or saturated in abundance (*2 Cor.5:7). Nathanael was such a one carrying forth ideas that believed a people emanating from a province of Galilee (Nazareth) could be of any value, no matter if Philip and others confirmed (cf. Deut.19:15) this Jesus as being the One the prophets shared would come as Redeemer. He, like most of the Jews would be so horribly frustrated living in the Roman Empire as second-class citizens, along with an unfair taxation imposed on them, limiting their fiscal viability. These actualities are presented us that’d we absolutely oppose every opportunity to conform to our estimations concerning earthen realities; particularly conscious to our status in believer-ship as citizens of Heaven. After an opportunity to speak with Jesus, Nathanael would proclaim, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel” (John 1:49). What saith you?
