Resisting Rage Part 1: The Gentleness of God
Sermon Scripture: John 1:43-51
Consider for a moment the story of Philip and Nathanael in John 1. Philip had become a follower of Jesus believed that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah. This meant a change in Philip’s worldview, political convictions, and social interactions.
Philip goes to Nathanael and says, “I’ve found the Messiah!” But Nathanael cynically responds, “Nothing good can come out of Nazareth.”
Philip offered Nathanael an invitation to “come and see.” Despite seeming like they are worlds apart, these two go on a path of discovery together. Already we can learn something from this invitation; don’t be afraid of new information! Explore. Read the article. Find out for yourself.
