In today’s passage Jesus continues to call disciples. And so far in the Gospel, as people encounter Jesus, we’ve watched as they react. Some are skeptical, some decide to follow, and some don’t even recognize him. Today we’ll see Jesus run into the prejudice that potentially existed within the Jewish community--how some people from one town looked down on people from another. How will Jesus respond?
----------RESPOND----------
1. When the Word becomes flesh and makes his dwelling among us, it confounds our expectations. Like Philip, how have you responded to other people's prejudice, and how it might keep them from following Jesus?
2. Like Nathaniel, what prejudices or biases do you carry that might keep you from following Jesus?
3. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you what you need to come and see.
