John 1:48 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.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Just like Nathanael, you may think that no one really knows who you are, where you are, or what you are thinking. You may wonder if anyone really knows you (including God). When Jesus met Nathanael He confirmed His divine identity by revealing that He knew exactly where Nathanael had been before they had ever seen each other with their eyes. Nathanael was so shocked that Jesus (already) knew him that he experienced the birth of faith and expressed it: John 1:49 "Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
I think one of our greatest needs is to know that we are known by the one who is all-knowing. We're looking for that personal link to the Almighty because we know that we are lost on our own. I hope you are reassured that Jesus sees you under that tree...or in that recliner...or driving that car...or crying those tears.
blessings,
