The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 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.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him,“Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” John 1: 43-51 (ESV)
I will eventually begin to add some substantial commentary to these passages that I post, especially in regards to the current season of the calendar. At the moment, I am not only trying to establish the habit of blogging on a regular basis, but also establish the Sunday posts as one that references one of the selected passages from the Lectionary as well as gives the Prayer for the Week laid based on the Book of Common Prayer. Fun? Yes, I believe so.
As a little teaser, I am reading an interesting book that was referred to me by none other than good ole Ross Guthrie called "Evangelical is not Enough" by Thomas Howard. I just read a very intriguing section on the the Flesh and the Spirit that I will share with you later this week. So stay tuned for further developments. For now, toodles.
Prayer for the Week:
Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the Earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and forever. Amen.
