“...where the angel declares Christ’s coming in the flesh,and consequently of all his sufferings therein, is to the same purpose.He was to ‘save his people from their sins.’ [Matthew 1:21]Whatsoever is required for a complete and perfect saving of his peculiar people from their sins was intended by his coming. To say that he did inpart of in some regard effect the work of salvation, is of ill report toChristian ears.”~John Owen 1684“

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he saidto him, ‘Follow me.’ Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. Philip found Nathanael and told him, ‘We have found the oneMoses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets alsowrote–Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’ ‘Nazareth! Can anythinggood come from there?’ Nathanael asked. ‘Come and see,’ said Philip.When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, ‘Here is a trueIsraelite, in whom there is nothing false.’ ‘How do you know me?’Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, ‘I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.’ Then Nathanael declared, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.’ Jesus said, ‘Youbelieve because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall seegreater things than that.’ He then added, ‘I tell you the truth, you shall see

greater things than that.’ He then added, ‘I tell you the truth, youshall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending anddescending on the Son of Man.’ ”~John 1:43-51
