<p>1:43 <em>The next day Jesus decided to go into Galilee; and he found Philip. Jesus said to him: Follow me</em>- Jesus &lsquo;found&rsquo; Philip, and he in his witnessing &lsquo;found&rsquo; Nathanael (Jn. 1:43,45). Our finding of men for the Lord reflects His finding of us. The Lord realized His new converts were from Galilee; perhaps they even knew Him from His earlier life there. He may have fixed holes in their boats for all we know. But He realized that their faith would be deepened by having to witness to Him, and demonstrate their association with Him, in their home area. See on 2:1. The command to witness is largely for our benefit; for we become more deeply conscious of our faith when we have to explain it to others, especially family members and acquaintances.</p>
