John 3:1-2

  • Nicodemus is a “ruler of the Jews’

  • Goes at night, hiding under the cover of darkness to meet with Jesus

  • He has all he needs in life, why does he still visit Jesus?

  • Is there more to life than this?

John 3:3-5

  • “Born again?”

  • practical(earthly) vs spiritual

  • Jesus makes it clear he is the one God sent (John 3:13-14)

  • John 3:16-17

 

  1. We can have FAITH without having all the answers.

  2. Invitation to step out of hiding

  • Surrendering ourselves

  1. Jesus is Lord.

  • John 19:38-40

  • He buries Jesus like a king. Something has changed in Nicodemus. Sees him as Lord.

  • Would have been costly

  • Seeing God’s Kingdom.

 

  • Do you feel like you’re scene 1 Nicodemus, hiding in the dark? Do you need to step out of the darkness? Do you need to meet with Jesus?

  • Are there any situations in your life that you need to believe in Jesus and who he is, without having all the answers?

  • How does seeing Jesus as your Lord change the way you live?
