Topic : Love Of God Revealed.

Memory Verse :‭ ‭John 3:6. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Bible Reading : ‭John 3:13-15 NIV‬. Key Verse : v14.

No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

Jesus here was trying to help Nicodemus to understand what it means to be born again or to have a new life which as a grown up man was a huge mystery to him. He had come to have a private meeting with Jesus because there was a hunger in him to be like Jesus or at least be close to him because he had seen by proofs that God indeed was involved in the ministry of our Lord Jesus. “Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”” John 3:1-3.

“Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”” John 3:5-8. Jesus here meant that the spirit of man which died (got separated from God the father of spirits and giver of life) because of sin, could be restored to the source of life and light as to live above the forces of nature. It’s all about the spirit of man getting reconnected to God in order to be able to function effectively in his realm being empowered by the almighty to live supernaturally.

Because it was just like a puzzle to Nicodemus. Jesus had to use a farmiliar story which everyone in Israel had known to explain the work of redemption he was on earth to undertake for the benefit of all men who will believe in the complete work of the cross. He wanted Nicodemus to look beyond the miracles to know the main reason he was on earth and key in fully. He used the experience of the people of Israel in the wilderness to explain the type of death he was about to die so that mankind in looking upto him can come out of their sins and it’s consequences. He tied it together by letting it be clear that the sacrifice of himself for the salvation of men was an act of extreme love of God revealed to men. “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:14-17.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving me Jesus your son. Thank you Lord Jesus for loving me and humbling yourself to die on the cross to save me. Take over my life, let your Spirit empower me to live in your realm and function just like yourself all the days of my life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Mathew 11:1-30.
