Come and See!

Sermon preached at Grace Episcopal Church, Monroe, La., 8/2/15

Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Come and see!

 

Nathaniel is the questioner; Philip is the answerer. Or so it was 2000+ years ago on a dusty road to Galilee!

 

Which are you at this moment in time and in this place? Nathaniel? Or Philip? I ask because I can see and hear myself in both of these guys.

 

I ask because, as I read the Gospels, over and over I see myself, and all of us, in the disciples—both when they are getting it, and when they are missing the point entirely.

 

This morning I would rather be Philip, the one pointing the way to the Good News of Jesus the Christ. Come and see!

 

Isn’t that our primary job as Christians?

 

But I am perfectly clear that sometimes I am Nathaniel, allowing my prejudices or my hurt feelings or my disapproval of… whatever, to blind me to the redeeming grace of God. Can anything good come of that?
