John 1:45 KJV
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
We have found Him...
This is a confident statement.
Philip is an unlearned man. He is not one who would know the intricate details of prophecy, doctrine or Scripture. But he knew Jesus was the One the Word of God said would come.
This is an exciting statement.After all these generations, waiting for the promise of the Word of God, finally, the promise had been fulfilled. It would not have been difficult to keep quiet about what they had seen. Yet Philip anxiously told Nathaniel, even though Nathaniel did not respond with the same excitement as Philip may have supposed.
What a difference we might make in our world if we would tell what we know about Christ with both the same enthusiasm and confidence that Philip did.
