Evening: Psalms 85, 86; John 1:43-51
Nathanael, who is “genuine through and through”, is astonished that Jesus knows what kind of man he is, just from seeing him in passing. Jesus reminds him that, at Bethel, Jacob dreamed of a ladder connecting earth and heaven. In effect, Jesus says: ‘Come with me and you’ll see something even more astonishing than a Messiah … You will see earth joined to heaven, a reality beyond your imagining. Come and see! Can you imagine it … that God is beside you? It’s what Jacob dreamed of; it’s what you will actually see.’
