anticipation

If you close your eyes, you can almost sense Philip’s excitement.  He had just found the long-awaited Messiah.  He had seen Him with his own eyes.  In pure joyful anticipation he runs to find his friend, Nathaniel, and exclaims,  “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” (John 1:45)  It had only been a little bit earlier when Philip had met Jesus and had heard the words from the Messiah’s mouth, “Come, and you will see.”
