John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
What do you think Jesus’ words would be if He were to describe you in one sentence?
Nathanael was an upright man who could be trusted but he had to see for himself whether this person Philip was talking about was in fact the Messiah or not.
Jesus knew him before Nathanael knew Jesus, knowing he was an Israelite of good standing; but Jesus knew him when he first called out to God in prayer!
Jesus is always listening!
