The Gospel of John (89): The King Worthy of Our Coats

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey and His conversation with Nathanael reveal that Jesus was none other than the Son of God, the King of Israel who came to be the Son of Man. From Matthew 21:1-9 and John 1:43-51, Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven proclaims that Jesus is the Son of God, the King of Israel, and the Son of Man. “Nathanael said to him, ‘How do you know me?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.’ Nathanael answered him, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!’…And [Jesus] said to him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.'” (John 1:48-49, 51).
