Discover the transformative power of being truly seen. This message explores how Jesus' interaction with a skeptical Nathanael reveals God's intimate knowledge and love for each of us. Nathanael initially questioned whether anything good could come from Nazareth—but his skepticism dissolved when Jesus demonstrated supernatural knowledge of his private moment under a fig tree. That personal recognition led to Nathanael's immediate confession of faith. The message dives into how Jesus sees past our carefully constructed masks to our authentic selves—and how the experience of being fully known yet fully loved can change everything. It explores the difference between seeking Jesus and being seen by Him, and offers practical guidance on how to position ourselves to receive God’s love. This teaching connects Nathanael's story to Jacob's ladder in Genesis, showing how Jesus fulfills the ancient promise of connection between heaven and earth. It addresses common struggles with authenticity, fear of rejection, and the challenge of believing we are truly loved by God. Whether you're a skeptic like Nathanael or a longtime believer, this message offers fresh insight into how Jesus meets us exactly where we are, sees our true selves, and loves what He sees. Learn how to create space for divine encounters, recognize God's voice of love in your daily life, and extend that same seeing and loving to those around you.
This sermon was recorded at a Sunday morning gathering at Church of the Lookout in Longmont, Colorado.
