What Happened Here:
- Nicodemus, a Pharisee, comes to Jesus
- Jesus tells him about the only way to get to heaven
- John the baptist becomes less important
- Jesus is from heaven FYI
Reflections:
Its not enough to simply believe that God is real. Its not enough to recognize that Jesus did cool things. You have to accept that Jesus is the son of God from heaven and gave his life for ours. Only through Jesus can we be accepted into heaven. One must be born again in order to attain eternal life. Which is a concept that many people struggle with. Its not a physical rebirth, its a spiritual rebirth. Its when you receive the Holy Spirit. Jesus elaborates on this importance in John 3.
Being born again is also when we come out of the darkness and into the light. Jesus is the light and light can not coexist with darkness. When we are of the world we are full of sin and we hide it in the darkness. But when we are reborn and filled with the Holy Spirit and Jesus cleanses us of that sin, we can come out of the darkness and into the light. Its much easier to see what you are doing and where you are going when you are in the light.
The Essence:
If you want a clearer picture of you life, step out of the darkness and into the light. Jesus not only cleanses us of our sins, but gives us the Holy Spirit to help show us our sins, and also shows us the things we do that were done through God. He doesn't just hand us a measly little flash light, he gives us the SON/SUN
