Gospel: John 1:45-51
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:
Have you shared your faith and friendship with Jesus?
If yes, well and good continue sharing Jesus and continue reforming and saving lives through Jesus. You may not see worldly rewards with what you do for Jesus now. But you surely will receive a reward from Jesus that is beyond your comprehension someday.
Time and again we've heard personal testimonies about how Jesus restored back their wayward lives. From a pointless life to a life of purpose and meaning all because of Jesus. From a life of sin to a life free from any form of sin and the like.
In our gospel, Philip was on fire for Jesus, he wanted to share the miracle of Jesus to his friend Nathanael. That is why Philip said to Nathanael: “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth (John 1:45).”
Our faith, love and friendship with Jesus becomes more alive, meaningful and productive when we share it. For example, we become a beacon of light for Jesus once we share our personal relationship with HIM. By doing so we save wayward lives, thus we once again create meaning and purpose in a person’s life.
You may not have shared Jesus yet, be not
afraid to share HIM now. You will bless others when you share Jesus and Jesus
will surely bless you as well for doing so. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
