Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. – John 1:45
When you came to faith in Christ, did you think you were responsible? Many do. Even the Apostles, who were specifically approached by Jesus, said they had found Him. The Bible also says that Noah found grace in the eyes of God (Genesis 6:8). In order for something to be found or discovered, it must already be present.
Later the Apostle Paul explained that in this life, the Christian goal is to apprehend that for which we are already apprehended in Christ Jesus. Christ lived and died to capture us and deliver us from sin and death. God has made Him Lord and Christ. Trust dear friend, if you find Jesus, it was only because He has already found you.
Let us rejoice in love of the one who loved us first.
