John 1:50-51 Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?” Jesus replied, “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 said to him, “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” He continued, “I tell all of you the solemn truth—you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Nathanael quickly finds out that Jesus can do miracles. Even though Jesus was not physically there, He saw Nathanael under the fig tree. This partially symbolizes that God is everywhere, and also that He is all-knowing - and even more shows that Jesus knows these things too! Lord God, I pray that we would live our lives as though we remember all is in Your view. No act, no time, and no place are outside of your gaze, or kept secret from You. Because our lives are lived vulnerable to your sight, let us be mindful and live according to Your truth. Help us look to You in secret. Verse/Commentary courtesy of Verse-A-Day app. verse-a-day/Apps
