God Of This City

God Of This CityA worship song by Chris Tomlin / Bluetree. In John 1:47-49, the Gospel writes of the encounter Nathanael had with Jesus. In this account, Jesus called Nathanael to follow Him, and miraculously revealed that He saw and knew him. Nathanael then saw Him for who He really was, the Son of God, the King of Israel.

In John 1:50-51, Jesus told Nathanael that he believed because of a miracle. But that was not primarily what Jesus came to do. He came to do something greater. He came to be the decisive connection between heaven and earth. He came to be the place where people now meet God. He came to die on the cross for our sins, which accomplished all that. Indeed the greatest thing has been done.
