Jesus qualifies Nathanael with two words – a true Israelite and a person with our any duplicity. Jesus mentions the important qualities that the disciple should have to follow Him. As the result of this truthfulness and authenticity Nathanael realized Jesus as “Son of God”. Clear vision is the result of truthfulness and non-duplicity.
We live in the world of duplicates. For every original one there is a duplicate especially in the field of business. In the cell phone market or regarding the computer software we seldom see the original. The piracy is the rule of the game. But Jesus appreciates the value of authenticity and truthfulness. In modern business studies they call it “walks the talk”.
Putting the mask is so common to show in front of others that I am somebody else. I do not know how far we can remove all our masks, but one thing is sure that we can grow to authenticity by adopting the kingdom values in our lives. It will reduce the burden of masks in us and give us more freedom to be what we are.
