You think that's great?

For many people, coming into a relationship with Christ is the greatest day of their lives, and rightfully so. Up to this point in his life, this was the greatest moment for Nathaniel.

As we looked at John 1:43-51 yesterday, we only saw half the story. The greatest part I think happens when Nathaniel actually meets Jesus. After being pushed by his brother to just check Jesus out, Nathaniel is shown a miracle by Jesus. This miracle totally freaks him out and he claims Jesus to be the Messiah.

Now this is great. This is what Israel had been waiting for, but what is Jesus' response to Nathaniel? He tells him that this miracle led him to believe but to just wait, in following Jesus he would see much greater things. How awesome is that? Jesus wants to show his disciples more things everyday!

When we come into that relationship with Jesus Christ, it is the start of an awesome experience. Jesus never planned for that day to be the greatest moment of our lives. He wants us to continually see his power. The longer we walk with Him the greater the things we see. You thought that just starting a relationship with Jesus was great? Wait until you see what He is going to show you...
