Eternal Insights Week 5--Nic at Night
In the Gospel of John, there is a leader of the religious establishment that comes to talk to Jesus at night. His name is Nicodemus and he has some questions for the teacher. He wants to know about a few things that Jesus has been teaching. He questions Jesus at some deep levels. Jesus has some very direct and challenging answers for him.
Nic sometimes gets a bad rap for his visit. Why did he come at night? Was he scared or was it some other reason? Why did he question Jesus in the way he did? Does God allow us to ask such questions? Shouldn’t he be punished for such “doubt”? Nic was a “good, religious” guy. Isn’t that good enough to please God? Why was Jesus so big on paying attention to “the wind” and other such “strange” things?
Let’s come together and explore these questions and more together this Sunday morning. Oh and if you want to get a head start, read over John 3:1-17 and see what you find. Maybe you have some of the same questions Nic did.
