From Death to Life
Hi GAMErs,
Today’s passage is John 3:9-21. Let’s go!
John 3:9-13 (NIV)
9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?
11 I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven–the Son of Man.
On verses 9-13: Nicodemus was known as “the teacher of Israel” (v10 ESV, NKJV). Yet here Israel’s teacher is unable to understand what Jesus, the Son of Man, was saying. It shows that Jesus, the Son of God and Son of Man, had wisdom and experience that Israel’s greatest teachers could not match. Teachers like Nicodemus were mere men reaching for heaven, whereas Jesus is the one who “came from heaven” to reach for men on earth.
