[The Glory Unveiled]
Philip found Nathanael 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.” [ John 1:45 NIV ]
Everyone on earth is pursuing something. Some chase success, others security; some pursue purpose, others pleasure. But for the believer, in all our pursuits, one truth must remain unshaken: in seeking God, we must pursue Jesus Himself—not merely His gifts, His miracles, or His ministry. Scripture shows us that there were many who followed Jesus daily, yet their motives were not anchored in love for His word or hunger for the revelation of God. They followed because of what they could receivefrom Him. Jesus Himself said that the crowds pursued Him not because of the “words of life,” but because He had filled their stomachs with multiplied bread and fish (John 6:26). They chased the blessing but not the Blesser; the miracle but not the Miracle Worker. But before Jesus came to the scene, the Scribes and Pharisees searched the Scriptures diligently for Him. They knew every prophecy concerning the coming Messiah. They had studied the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings that pointed to Him. So when Philip found Jesus, he immediately recognized Him—not by chance, but because generations had been waiting and longing for the One who would come in the likeness described by the prophets. And when he did, he didn’t chase after His gifts or miracles but His person. And so, he could not keep the news to himself. He ran to tell Nathanael, because when we encounter the truth, when we meet the Saviour, something in us is compelled to share Him. Revelation becomes proclamation. Beloved, someone needs to know that you have found the Lover and Saviour of your soul. The world is hungry, searching, wandering. And as Scripture says, “All men seek for Him” (Mark 1:37).
Help them find the One your heart has discovered. Lead them to Jesus—not just His gifts, but His person, His presence, His life.
