Who do you want to come with you to Heaven? Philip recognized Jesus as the Christ and chose to follow Him, but he didn't keep that blessing to himself. Jesus is not to be kept to ourselves; He is to be shared with everyone who might want to know Him.

A celebration is best shared with others. Whether it means gathering only two people or bringing together hundreds, we are made naturally as humans (even us introverts!) to share our good news with others. We invite others to rejoice with us when we receive promotions, we gather a large crowd to celebrate a wedding, we organize parties to commemorate special events. How much more should we invite others to celebrate the discovery of the Messiah!
