Intro
Tension to Resolve: Religion is not able to do battle when it goes toe to toe with Truth.
John 3:3
I love how John (The writer of this book) introduces us to Nicodemus.
1.
He was a man of the Pharisees
Pharisee: a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law, and commonly held to have pretensions to superior sanctity.
That means that this guy knew God’s law like the back of his hand.
This man believed in God.
He believed in creation.
He believed in the scriptures.
He followed all the rules.
He was in charge!
2.
He KNEW something was up.
Up until that point, I’d say that nicodemus would have assumed that he was doing okay with God.
But for the past 3 chapters of John, Jesus was causing quite the stir.
Given the way Nicodemus entered into the conversation, I’d say that this foundation was rocked.
Being a member of the sanhedrin, and having a obligation to protect theology.
He HAD to investigate.
3.
He was READY to hear.
Nicodemus implied his readiness to learn from Jesus by acknowledges that Jesus had come from God. Nicodemus admitted that he knew that Jesus must be from God because of Jesus working miracles.
Nicodemus prompted Jesus to share truth with him by giving Jesus the title Rabbi or Teacher.
Nicodemus was a learned man that had his heart stirred by the work of Jesus
Let’s see how Jesus responded
The Only Way into Heaven is to be Born Again
Jesus was talking about Spiritual Birth
Spiritual Birth produces Life Change
You must be born again
Jesus was trying to help Nicodemus understand something.
He was not saved.
All the study, all the religion wasn’t enough.
There must be a regenerative believe in Jesus!
Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart.
You Must be born again.
