Everything looks obvious after it is found.
The answers to mysteries are always hidden in plain sight.
Wayward wandering has helped more people unravel mysteries than any other path men glorify.
If you have not yet figured something out, keep walking around it until it yields its essence.
– Osasu Oviawe
John 1:45-51
Philip found Nathan’a-el, and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Nathan’a-el said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathan’a-el coming to him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Nathan’a-el said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathan’a-el answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
Homily:
Never dismiss anyone based on where they are coming from.
In fact the above statement should have ended with – “Never dismiss anyone”.
It is easier to dismiss people than to acknowledge them. Avoid this easy path, it is fundamentally self-limiting.
Each person carries a unique truth within, revealed only to those who “come and see”.
