Hey I will start these again :) My mom reminded me that even if no one reads these, God will and that's all that matters. Today's scripture is John 3, especially John 3:14 & 16
"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
"For God so loved he world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Some of this is my personal opinion, but a lot of this is from our Bible class. Nicodemus was a Pharisee. Pharisees were the most influential people in Jesus' time. They followed the law, but they "hedged" the law, meaning that they added other laws around it so they didn't break the Bible's law. For example, if reading a certain book, the Pharisees would add the laws, don't touch it, don't go near it, don't think about it, and don't want it. So anyways, there is a quick Bio about the Pharisees for you. :)
My teacher talked about how everyone is going to have a ticket to get in to heaven. It has your name, your good deeds, whether you believe in Jesus or not, etc. Nicodemus asked Jesus if he had the right ticket, and Jesus said in order to have the right ticket, one has to be born again. Now Nicodemus was super confused, because He thought that how does one go back into his mother's womb? What if your mother already passed? But Jesus didn't mean that. He just meant that one needs to have a new life in him. He was sharing the gospel with Nicodemus about himself! No one else on Earth could do that!
Think about it! No caps :)
