45 Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.”​ 46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”​ “Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied.​ 47 As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel—a man of complete integrity.”​ 48 “How do you know about me?” Nathanael asked.​ Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.”​ 49 Then Nathanael exclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God—the King of Israel!”​ 50 Jesus asked him, “Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” 51 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.”—John 1: 45-51 (NLT)
​Each​ of us must come to Jesus for ourselves. No one else can do this for us. Parents and Grandparents, regardless of how much they love and pray, cannot make this decision for you. It is personal and it is eternal. Just as Jesus knew Nathanael before He came to Jesus, so He knew each of us before we came to Him. He knows us at our very worst, He knows our unkind thoughts. No matter how sinful or how ugly it is, Jesus knows all about it but He still loves us. He is waiting with open arms to receive us. If you haven’t truly accepted Him as your Savior and Lord, then, please, “Come and See for Yourself”. Once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you will never be alone again.
