John 1:46-49\u201cNazareth! Can anything good come from there?\u201d Nathanael asked. \u201cCome and see,\u201d said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, \u201cHere truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.\u201d \u201cHow do you know me?\u201d Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, \u201cI saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you”<\/p>\n
Becoming too familiar with something ,someone or even places can overshadow its value and magnify it’s weakness .This is what happened to Nathaniel. He believed that the only thing that was to be gotten from Nazareth was nothing. But shockingly, his assumption was silenced when the good unknown to him appeared .<\/p>\n
There exists many Nathaniels who are familiar with our weaknesses and believe that we can only achieve up to a certain limit .Suprisingly others are Nathaniels of themselves! What good can come out from me? ,from so and so? Answering these question may not require deep arguments and explanations ; allow the good thing in you do the talking on your behalf and this will automatically mute the critics .<\/p>\n
