The
John 3:1-17
This is God’s word lets pray.
We got our boy here Nicodemus or as I like to call him - Nicki D
Who is a Pharisee, which was a grass root, hard right, ultra conservative, Jewish movement thats focus was on religious purity.
We find the Pharisees normally against Jesus and trying to trip him up with hard questions.
They are always trying to catch Jesus messing up or saying something wrong.
Because they were threatened by His influence.
However there seems to be something different about Nicky D.
Nicky calls Jesus Rabbi, which is a sign of respect.
However he comes at night probably because he doesn't want his homeboys to know.
Also he says we know, Who is WE?
That is not a reference to the pharisees but a reference to Jesus followers.
Nicky seems to be shifting in perspective from critic to curious.
He is Curious about Jesus and seems interested in following Jesus because of the signs and miraculous work of that Jesus was preforming.
Nicky D the religious good boy comes to Jesus at night calling Jesus Rabbi believing that Jesus is from God.
Understand this… He is good, by the standards of the current influential group and he is seeking out Jesus, calling him teacher, and from God.
Yet
Jesus Replied...
Jesus here is stating that it is not his religious goodness, or the fact that he calls Jesus a good teacher or that he recognizes Jesus is from God.
Jesus seems to be saying that all of that doesn't matter because it is only through new birth that you can see the kingdom of God.
Jesus replies dont make things weird!
Nicky D is thinking physical.
John 3:5-
Born of Water and Spirit
Some say this means you have to be baptized to finish your salvation.
Which is completely missing the point.
Jesus is arguing against the physical not for it.
Some say this is natural birth, some say water is the word of God.
I think that most places in scripture water represents the Spirit or Life.
In the greek it says born of water and spirit I vies these as synonyms for the same thing.
A spiritual birth.
Jesus says there is a new birth, that we are to be born again.
And that we should not be surprised by this need.
John 3:
There is something unexplainable and unpredictable about the Spiritual birth but also noticeable and clear.
John 3:11
