Why did Jesus choose Philip, the apostle Matthew, Mark and Luke say almost nothing about? In John 1:43-46 Jesus goes looking for him and says, "Follow me."
The Great Physician, G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown Pt 6: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Morgan's chapter on Philip.
Morgan calls Philip a quiet, unimpressive man, "slow in the uptake," who would not argue but simply said "come and see." We follow every scene John gives us: Jesus finding Philip (John 1:43-46), the question about bread for the five thousand that Jesus asked "to prove him" (John 6:5-7), the Greeks who said "Sir, we would see Jesus" (John 12:20-24), and Philip's cry in the upper room, "shew us the Father" (John 14:8-9). Along the way: did you find God or did God find you, Daniel's ten-day test, the pagan general's "for how many do you count me?", and why Jesus needed more than twelve Peters.
