Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.”

Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

John 1:45–46

Philip had just met Jesus and began following him as a disciple.

This life changing experience led him to invite his friend Nathanael to do the same.

He shares his excitement about Jesus being the fulfillment of God’s promises but is met with skepticism from his friend.

Sharing our faith is hard because we put ourselves in a position of vulnerability.

Philip models for us an invitational response, “come and see.”

Will we follow Philip’s example and reach beyond ourselves and our own discomfort?
