Jesus meets Nathanael right where he is, skeptical, searching, honest. With one simple revelation (“I saw you under the fig tree”), Nathanael’s heart opens. But Jesus doesn’t stop there. He essentially says: “If that moved you, just wait. You’re going to witness heaven itself opening.” This is Jacob’s ladder language, the place where heaven and earth meet. Jesus is saying: “I am that place. I am the connection. I am the meeting point between God and humanity. Nathanael thought he had seen something remarkable. Jesus promises something far greater: a life where God’s presence becomes visible, active, and near. May your heart rest in the same promise, that the small ways God has shown Himself to you are only the beginning, and that greater things, deeper clarity, and wider grace are still unfolding. Have a safe, comfortable, stay warm and peaceful day.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. – John 1:50-51
