Philip found Nathanael 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.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:45-‬46 ESV

Sometimes the most important things are hidden behind what we think isn’t important or maybe even good. Come and see… and bring a friend along.

COT: The US Civil War still interests many, despite the passage of more than 150 years. Some of this is the scope of the conflict and the personalities of those involved. But it also has to do with the way the conflict formed our current nation. From deep divisions, a united nation emerged. As you go through this week, seek common ground with those with whom you disagree. Conflict brings ruin. Try to build consensus in its place.
