Moment Of Clarity With Rev. Lorrie Daly-price

March 8, 2020 | This week in our gospel reading Nicodemus comes to Jesus as an owner, supervisor and gatekeeper of Israel’s religion. He doesn't own the religious tradition but he’s certainly one of its chief stewards – one of its guarantors, one of its border guards. Israel’s religion is his baby. He comes to Jesus expressing both a genuine interest and at the same time a guarded caution about what Jesus is doing. We think you’re one of us, he tells Jesus. God must clearly be on your side given what’s happening around you in your ministry. Is Nicodemus, speaking on behalf of official Israel? If so, why has he come at night and in secret?
