--THE SAVIOR WHO KNOWS US~~

"How do you know me?" Nathanael
asked." (John 1:48)

----We catch a glimpse of intimate knowledge Jesus has of His people in John 1. As Nathanael, who Philip had urged to meet Jesus, moves toward Him Jesus pronounced, "Here truly is an Israelite in who there is no deceit. (v.47). Nathanael responded, "How do you know me?" Jesus replied, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you" (vs 48).

We may not know why Jesus chose to share this particular detail, but it seems Nathanael did! Overwhelmed, he responded, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
----(VS 49 /NKJV).

Jesus knows each of us intimately, completely, and perfectly--the way we long to be known. And He accepts us completely--inviting us to be, not only His followers, but His beloved friends (John 15:15) ~~

--"Lord Jesus, thank You for inviting me into the adventure of following and knowing You, my Rock, Redeemer, Savior and Lord! Even so, Come Lord Jesus, Come!" ~
