Nicodemus (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg interprets John chapter 3 and discusses Nicodemus, a Pharisee who came to Jesus at night to learn more about him. Steve suggests that Nicodemus might have already drawn the conclusion that Jesus was God, but was hesitant to admit it openly. Steve highlights the concept of being "born again" as a spiritual rebirth, not a physical one, and emphasizes the importance of being born of the Spirit. He also discusses the contrast between being born of the flesh and being born of the Spirit, and how this impacts one's relationship with God.
