Boldness In The Lord

John 1: 49-51

Nathanael answered Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these." 

And He said to him, "Truely, truely, I say to you, you shall see the Heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Wow. When Nathanael's faith was based on Jesus' knowledge of Nathanael, Jesus was not shy at all about informing him of much greater proofs of His Deity and Authority.

It was like He was saying, "Just wait, kid; you ain't seen nothin' yet!" 

Jesus knew Himself fully and had the confidence to proclaim Who He was; He didn't mince any words.

O my Father, give me the confidence of knowing who I am in You, to boldly proclaim Your great Gospel to those who are ready to hear. 

Father, send me to Your lost sheep, to find them and bring them in, so there will be one fold and one Shepherd!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
