Day 5- You Must Be Born Again!
Day 5- You Must Be Born Again!
The news of Jesus' ministry is beginning to spread. Nicodemus, a religious leader of the Pharisees, arranges a private meeting with Jesus at night on a rooftop in Jerusalem to find out more about Him and His teachings. This is a rare secret meeting between Jesus and a religious leader. But Nicodemus was not there to trap Jesus with a question or denounce him as a devil. He was genuinely interested in finding out for himself who Jesus really was and how to enter God's Kingdom, even at the risk of being found out by his peers. “You must be born again!” Jesus says. “But how is this so?” Nicodemus asks. This encounter changes Nicodemus’ life. The next time he interacts with Jesus he is assisting Joseph of Arimathea take His lifeless body down from the cross.
