Do not forget this chapter of John when dealing with religious people.
New Birth to Nicodemus
Nicodemus, as a teacher of the Law, thought he had totally gotten everything that God required of him . . .
but he didn’t.
1.
The stage is set, vs. 3-13.
V. 9 literally is “How can this take place?”
This is something that Nicodemus should have known from the OT.
Ezekiel 37
2. The OT Picture, 14a.
Jesus draws Nicodemus’ attention to events spoken of in Numbers 21:5-9
Let me illustrate this event:
This is a passage to teach gospel truth.
Part of the success in using the diagram is to place yourself in the position of the unbeliever when you share this with them.
I ask the question: “How in the world can a brass serpent heal snakebite?”
The results would be that I would die!
Read the Numbers passage, then ask the person you are sharing with “Will you live?
If you looked to the serpent, and then died, God would be a liar.
If He is a liar, than He can’t be God.
But God has made it where anyone could be saved.”
3. The NT truth, vs. 14b-15.
Jesus Christ became God’s answer to the sin problem.
4. John’s commentary, vs. 16-17.
