John 3:1-10

A Self-Revealing God

• The revelation of God in the Gospel of John
  
• We see the heart of God in His general and special revelation
  
  • Romans 1:17-20
    
  • The special revelation of His Word more specifically reveals His moral character.
    
• The Gospel of John reveals the Divine perspective of Jesus ministry

There are only two kinds of people – those who say “Thy will be done” to God or those to whom God in the end says, “Thy will be done.”
--- C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain, The Great Divorce

Three Encounters with Nicodemus:

• John 3:1-21 – Afraid of being discovered, Nicodemus made a night appointment.
  
• John 7:50-52 – Nicodemus next appears as part of the Jewish council.
  
• John 19:39-40 – Our last picture of Nicodemus shows him joining Joseph of Arimathea in asking for Jesus’ body in order to provide for its burial.

Jesus is lightening!

Jesus is lightning, Christianity is a 110 volt receptacle.

‘How can a man be born when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!’
