Our Bible story was John 1:34-51, the story of Philip and Nanthaniel first meeting Jesus.  Jesus tells Nathaniel before he even meets him that he is a man of honor.   He also stated that he had seen Nate under the fig tree before Philip even told Nate about Jesus.  Nate was amazed at all the details of his life that Jesus knew.  The probable reason that Jesus told Nathaniel about seeing him under the fig tree was to illustrate His ability and interest in seemingly unsignificant aspects of everyday life.  Jesus is interested in every detail of our lives!!
