Nicodemus The Pharisee
Nicodemus -a Pharisee one who pledged to obey the Law to please God
Example of what the the Law turned in to:
what is work?
must be defined
Every situation in life has to have a rule for
in the Mishna the rules run for 24 chapters
to tie a knot was work, but the knot had to be defined
sailors knot was against the law but a knot that could be tied with one hand is legal
so if you can find a way to do it legally your good
doing things legally was a matter of life and death to a Pharisee
Must be born Again/ From above/ Completely Radical
Greek word Anothem /again,from above, completely radical
Jesus first teaching is, not on how to live .
But .
how to receive a new life Be made alive
the Kingdom cannot be seen until you are born again
Nick is longing for this radical change but in his experience it’s impossible
He is the best of the best in his behavior, but still lacking
Nick is told that to be pure, it is an impossible task
I want to please God.
I want to go to Heaven, BUT
Born of Water and Spirit
V 5 water represents clensing
Washing, all the sin has to go
but first there has to be an admission of guilt
Sanctification, being changed by God
Spirit, a new radical life, a new life changing power
Born of Flesh and Spirit
Flesh- David ps 51 5 sinful from conception
Paul Eph 4 22 corrupted by deceitful desires
Jeremiah 17 9 Heart is deceitful and beyond cure
Jesus said
A good looking pump on a septic tank - looks good on the outside
There has to be a new radical from God birth in our lives
From the spirit
God breathed in to us a new life
Just as the Spirit breathed into Adam, life
How can these things be?
A unwilling to believe skeptic
there are lives that the Holy Spirit touched and changed
something that humanly can see of the power of God
yet you are unwilling to believe
we don’t understand the wind but we do understand the evidence that is left behind
Jesus came to light the world
V 11 Faith in Gods word, He gives us knowledge
Conclusion
unless your salvation was a radical change, its not real
Nick knew the Bible, was a Bible teacher
obeyed all the rules
went to church, gave money, prayed
But born of the flesh only - Corrupt
Another Pharisee named Saul said this
if there was not a life change resulting of being born again its not real
