Psalm: 30

Meditation

John: For evangelicals, this passage amounts to the Holy Grail in Scripture. We begin with a Pharisee who, in a moment of great courage, came to Jesus by stealth at night to seek and to ask. Jesus tells him he must be born from above (or again). That was a bit much for Nicodemus, so Jesus launches into an explanation which culminates with Jesus telling us just how much God loves mankind and the lengths He goes to save us.
