How Do You Respond to Jesus?Exemplo

Coming to Jesus to see who He is

When Jesus called His first disciples, some of them were skeptical. The gospel of John records how Nathanael was not immediately convinced that Jesus could be the man of whom the holy Scriptures were speaking for centuries. Jesus did not meet all of his expectations. For one thing, He was not from the religious ‘place-to-be,’ but from Nazareth. This was confusing to many people. Some turned their back on Jesus for this reason. Nathanael was encouraged by Philip not to stay stuck in his doubts, but to “come and see” for himself! That was the right thing to do for with just a few sentences, Jesus convinced him that He was the Son of God and the King of Israel. Nathanael became a disciple and followed Jesus for three years. During this time, he learned a lot about Jesus’ identity and mission by listening to His teaching and watching His miracles.

We can’t see Jesus in His physical body for ourselves anymore. But, we have four Bible books full of records of His words and deeds. I encourage you to read these to get to know Jesus for yourself! Let Him convince you of His true identity. Nobody else can.
