Colossians 3:12 - 15

John 3:1 -21

John 8:12
The Light of the World

Nicodemus
What were his motives?
Being born again - He misunderstood the concept.

Our witness
Are we blunt enough.
Do people see Jesus through us?

Ezekiel 36: 24 - 27

Numbers 21:4 - 9
The snake prefigured Jesus, in a way. The Israelites were to look to the snake in a certain way to be saved from the venom. Similarly, we are to look to Jesus to save us from our sins.

Vs 3
We need to be born again to see or experience the Kingdom.

Spiritual birth and trust.

The Kingdom of God.

Born again/Born from above.

The Light of the World.
- From a spirtual point of view.

Jesus is God's ultimate gift to a dark, depraved and desparate world.

Have we missed something?

vs 16
Jesus comes as the Light of the World.
There is no greater gift.

God gave part of Himself. His Son.

He did not come to condemn, but to Save.

Nicodemus condemned himself.
It was there for the world to see.

You must be born again.

How will you choose?
