We see Jesus talking to Nicodemus here.
His main question/statement is that you cannot see the Kingdom of God unless you are born again. Once again we see people taking him in the literal way. Like the temple but we all know what it means to be born again. Its being born by the Spirit.
We see him say that how are people supposed to learn about heaven when they can't even learn about earthly things. I think of trust and everything and building a relationship with others first. We need to establish a base first about how things are and get to know a person before i think we can really tell them about heaven.
A great reminder I know that we all know 3:16 and maybe 17. But this morning 17 was really brought out to me. He was sent not to condemn or judge the world but to save the world. Why do we then go around judging people and what the do? This isn't our job but this is what we go around doing and how we look at others. We look at them to judge and not really to save them and try to connect with hem and teach them the Good New of Jesus. God cared enough to give us his son, can't we care enough to look past some of the difficult things of people and that we can still be friend them and talk to them?
No one can receive anything unless given down to us from God in heaven (27). Just a important reminder as well look at all the stuff we have.
30- He must become greater and I must become less. John understands his role and what he should do. We should to in life and that the things we do aren't for our benefit but for the benefit of God.
Jesus sent by God but God still relinquished power into his hands to do what he wanted to do.
As the main point on how it started and ended. We must be born again and believe in God to have eternal life.
