Jesus and Nicodemus

September 10, 2023

JOHN 3:1-21

Jesus traveled to many places to teach people. People saw
Jesus do amazing things. News about Jesus spread and the people heard about the wonderful things Jesus did.
Nicodemus was a leader in the courts in Jerusalem and
a teacher of the Law. Nicodemus was curious about Jesus. Nicodemus had heard things and he wondered who Jesus was. One night Nicodemus decided to find Jesus and talk to Him. When Nicodemus found Jesus, he said: “Rabbi, we know You are a teacher who has come from God. No one could do what You do if God wasn’t with him.”

Jesus cared about Nicodemus. Jesus wanted to help Nicodemus and other people know how they could be with God forever. Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again.
Now Nicodemus was very confused! What did Jesus mean? How could a person be a baby two times?

Jesus helped Nicodemus understand. Jesus said that people are born the first time as real live people. They eat, sleep, walk, talk, and other people can see them. The second time people are born is when the people believe (have faith) in Jesus. The people still have their bodies like before, but they think and act differently because they love Jesus. It is like they are brand-new people! Nicodemus still did not know exactly what Jesus meant, so he listened some more.

Jesus said, “God loved everyone so much that He sent Me, His Son, to teach people and show them how to be God’s children. When people believe that God sent Me, they become God’s children and will be with Him forever.”
