Jesus saw
Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Here is a true child of Israel.
There is no duplicity in him. ”Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the
fig tree.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the
King of Israel.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you believe because I told
you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.”
And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and
the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Reflection:
Do you have
some secrets that you think nobody knows except you? It’s not you alone who
knows about it Jesus knows about it also.
There was a young woman who had an abortion she kept
it from anyone, but there were days that she couldn’t sleep. She was being
bothered by her conscience; thinking of a cure from her torment of
conscience. She submitted herself to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and there
she poured out everything that was bothering her. From there on she was able to
sleep soundly.
Jesus is an all-knowing God His presence pervades
all over us and we certainly can’t hide anything from Him. Nathaniel was not
aware of this fact this is the reason why he asked Jesus: “How do you know
me”?
We cannot keep anything from God, He knows
everything about us. Our sins, undesirable thoughts and the current sins that we continue to commit. Therefore, we have to distance ourselves permanently from people and
places that influenced us to sin.
Otherwise, we have to prepare ourselves from the very
severe consequence that will befall us. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
