12 Special Words for the Nicodemus the Pharisee
Nicodemus was a very important Pharisee, and he was a very careful thinker. As he listened to Jesus, he became very curious. He wanted to talk with Jesus, but he didn’t want his Pharisee friends to see them together.
Somehow, he arranged a secret meeting with Jesus in the middle of the night.
Right away, Jesus caught Nicodemus’ curiosity by saying something that Nicodemus didn’t understand. Those12 special words from Jesus started a long conversation.
“Unless someone is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God.” – John 3:3 (NIV)
Jesus explained the truth about God, and Nicodemus became a believer.
Jesus wasn’t upset with Nicodemus’ questions. He welcomed them and spent time helping Nicodemus understand.
Guess what? Jesus came to show us what God is like, so if Jesus doesn’t mind us asking questions, neither does God.
You can question God. He won’t get upset. You may not get answers right away. It might take a lifetime, or you might have to wait until you get to Heaven, but God has the answers for you.
