*SOMEONE CARES FOR YOU..*
*WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING*
*John 3:1-21*
*INTRODUCTION*
*/Have your ever lost something Important?/*
*/My wallet in Hilton Head..../*
*/The Little Boys who lost God..../*
*/We live in the Information Age!/*
*/We have lots of facts - but few reasons!/*
*/Many today are like Nicodemus - you know the facts what you are looking for is the truth.../*
\\ *1A.
WE SEE A SEARCHING MAN*
*/1B.
Nicodemus was a Religious Man/*
*He took his faith seriously (1)*
*He took Jesus seriously (2)*
*/2B.
Nicodemus was a Reasoning Man/*
*He had a head knowledge - but no heart knowledge (3-4)*
/(Matthew 15:8) ""'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."/
*/3B.
Nicodemus was a Reflective Man/*
*Jesus tries to explain the new birth (5-8)*
/Picture of baptism... (5)/
Water=repentance
Spirit=regeneration
/Principle of birth...(6-7)/
We reproduce after our kind; Flesh=flesh
Spirit=spirit
/Puzzle of the wind... (8)/
Unseen
Uncontrolled
Unpredictable
*Nicodemus’ troubled response to the new birth (9)*
/Nicodemus was worried about the how of salvation rather than the who of salvation!/
/(John 14:6) "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me."/
\\ *2A.
WE HEAR A SIMPLE MESSAGE*
*/1B.
It is a Message Rooted in Facts/*
*They are understandable facts (10)*
/(John 5:39‑40) "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life.
These are the Scriptures that testify about me, {40} yet you refuse to come to me to have life."/
/They had a heart problem not a head problem!/
*They are verifiable facts (11)*
/Know = unwavering certainty/
Men will not die for a lie!
/Seen = eyewitness account!/
/(1 John 1:3) "We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us.
And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ."/
*They are essential facts (12)*
*/2B.
It is a Message Revealed by Symbols /*
*Only Jesus can bring us to God (13)*
/(1 Timothy 2:5‑6) "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, {6} who gave himself as a ransom for all men‑‑the testimony given in its proper time."/
*Only Jesus can free us from death (14-15)*
/(Numbers 21:4-9)/
Rebellion (4-5) - Result (6) - Remedy (7-9)
/(1 John 2:2) "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."/
\\ *3A.
WE CONFRONT A STANDARD TO BE MEASURED BY (16-21)*
*/1B.
The Measure of Love/*
*The unconditional love of God (16)*
God gave - Jesus came
We believe - We receive
*The uncondemning love of God (17)*
/(2 Peter 3:9) "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.
He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."/
*The uncompromising love of God (18)*
No faith - No forgiveness
We are condemned because of who we are!
Our condemnation is both positional and actual.
*/2B.
The Measure of Light (19-21)/*
*The light repeals our darkness (19)*
/(1 John 1:5) "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all."/
*The light reveals our darkness (20)*
/(Matthew 6:21) "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."/
*The light rewards our devotion (21)*
\\ *APPLICATION*
*/Are you searching?/*
*/If you knew the “truth” what would you do with it?/*
*/Jesus is the Living Truth!/*
*/Do you know Him?/*
*/Will you come into the light today?/*
