Jesus makes shocking claims to a big time religious leader- Jesus is the Messiah.
Very early in his public ministry Jesus unpacked his identity and purpose to an in influential Jewish religious leader.
Jesus was very clear and focused on his mission.
The pride and fear of Nicodemus drove him to be secret in his admiration of Jesus. This very educated man got an education in this conversation.
Being saved and joining Jesus’ mission is more important than the praise of “good moral citizens”.
Most people don’t know Jesus made such exclusive “narrow claims” about how to be a part of the “Kingdom of God”. Even fewer have experienced being born again.
Father, I have believed (trusted) in Jesus as Savior and Lord. Please help me to walk by the Spirit and help others do the same…even religious folks.
