“Come and see”
Nathanael encountered Jesus through a mediator, Philip. Philip had a deep life-transforming encounter with Jesus that he wanted to share the Good News with his friend. He went searching for Nathanael and told him, “Come and see.” Because of Philip’s “Come and see”, Nathanael became Jesus’ apostle.
