(John 3:16, John 3:1-15, John 7:45-52, John 19:38-42)

John 3:16  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.

Nicodemus was a P______________ and a member of the S_________________.

5 Understandings from John 3:1-15:

1. Nicodemus believed that there was more to Jesus than being just another S________-A_________________ prophet.
2. Nicodemus knew how his M___________________ with Jesus would look to the rest of the Sanhedrin.
3. There is more to salvation than just B_____________.
4. There is a distinction between E___________ things and H_____________ things and understanding one does not guarantee understanding the other.

Take away lesson: Just like Nicodemus, if we are to see the Kingdom of God, then we need to seek out our own meeting with Jesus, and learn the entire message, and be born again.

John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
