Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

What if you got a sit-down with Jesus? Well Nicodemus got such a sit-down. Just Him and Jesus, one-on-one. And the point is clear: Jesus isn't going to tell Nicodemus what he wants to know, but what he needs to know. And the first step to do that is to teach Nicodemus that he can't do it -- something that no Pharisee would believe on his own. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus didn't get all his questions answered that night. In fact, he may have left with more than he came with! He didn't get what he wanted to know, but he did get what he needed to know.
