Day 3 of 47 going through John's gospel - more info at https://www.severnvineyard.org/time-space-jesusWhat could happen if you take time and make space with Jesus today? This ten-minute podcast is part reading, part music, and part silence, all designed to help you create a space to picture and feel the scene with Jesus in it. You can use this space in lots of ways, including meditation, prayer, re-reading the passage or thinking about what it means for you today.Today's reflection: What first excited you about Jesus? What makes you want to know him better today?---Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus walking, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?”They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”He said to them, “Come and see.”They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about 4pm. One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. Andrew found Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which means Christ). Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter, or rock).On the next day, Jesus decided to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the same city as Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, “We have found the one that Moses in the law and the prophets wrote about: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”Philip said to him, “Come and see.”Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Look, here is a true Israelite, with no deceit in him!” Nathanael said to Jesus, “How do you know me?”Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!”Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!” Then Jesus said, “Most certainly, I tell you all, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
