How Philip actually did find Christ is found in the scriptures. John states: (56:7) The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. John 1:43 (56:8) It seems that it was Christ who found Philip, and not Philip who found Christ. Given this knowledge, however, there are still questions that must be answered: Why did Philip follow Him? How did he attain to the gift of faith? What made him know Who it was who addressed him? Was it scripture? Was it Christ's love? Was it His divine authority? What was it that touched the mind and heart of Philip? This, John does not say
(56:9)
