Oh To Be Wise Meditations

“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these." Then He declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” (John 1:48-51) Jesus had never met Nathanael. But Jesus knew about him. He knew Nathanael’s character and attitudes. Jesus knows everything about us, too. He knows the good things and the bad things about us. We cannot hide anything from him. But still he loves us. Still he wants us to be his friends and to follow him. Sin has ruined their relationship with God. And, since the first people, everyone has sinned. But Jesus, by his death, would mend the relationship between people and God. Jesus does this for everyone who trusts him. Thank you LORD Jesus for the Cross, so that I can get to know the LORD my God, my Savior!
