Revelation of the Word:

THEME: AN OPEN HEAVEN

John 1:49-51

“Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.” Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man’”

INSIGHT

-When Philip told Nathaniel about Jesus, he doubted if He was the Messiah. Nathaniel said, “can anything good come out of Nazareth (John 1:46). Filled with a geographic sense of pomp, Nathaniel probably prophesied that Jerusalem was the only holy city.  His religious skepticism blinded him from believing in the Messiah, who calls us to accept Him as our personal Savior. Like the Pharisees and Scribes who over-relied entirely on the law and traditional, they failed to enter God’s kingdom, and bared many from accessing it. Although he was called a true Israelite with whom there is no deceit, Nathaniel believed in what he saw and not what he heard or written in the law and prophets. Nathaniel was called oblivious of the fact that Jesus had seen him before under the fig tree, awakened his spiritual sense. Romans 10:9, tells us that, “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. After Nathaniel’s public declaration that Jesus is the Son of God and the King of Israel, Nathaniel was ready to experience an open heaven.
