Q: What Made You Believe?

When Jesus called His disciples, He had an interesting exchange with Nathanael.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”

Let me paraphrase Jesus’ words – You believe I’m the Son of God and King of Israel just because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree’? You ain’t seen nothing yet!

What was it about Jesus that drew you to Him? Was there a moment when you concluded He is God? What made you believe?

The promise He made Nathanael holds true for us as well. We haven’t seen a fraction of what He can and will do.
