Jesus reveals another side of Him.
Many tend to over look this aspect of faith applied and rewarded in relation to the calling of Jesus first twelve Disciples. We can picture a hot day in Israel and all sitting in the cool shade of a tree, Jesus is impressed by the simple and yet effective faith of this man.
Jesus then reveals to him the fulfilment of the scriptures in relation to their mutual ancestor Jacob, who long ago saw this vision. It made him afraid, since he was in a lot of trouble at the time making a run for the relatives.
God uses intelligent people, He also uses the weak thing of this world to shame the wise! But what He is after is effective applied faith on the basic level and then dreams and visions will be revealed to us to build us up to be more effective in His business.
Genesis 28:12, John 1:51, Joel 2:28-32.
Ask me and I will tell you!
