Jesus.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The New Blrtk. .
I. The History of Nleodemus (rr.
1. 2; Ct 7:45-52; 19:88-42).
The lesson of today has Its peculiar
significance In the light of Nicodemos’
station In life. He was s learned
rabbi, a doctor of the law, and pre
sumably a man of good character. His
coming by night indicates his timidity.
-JJke Joseph of Artmathgs. he was
afraid to openly espouse the cause of
the new^teacher of Galilee. Though
timid, as an honest man he Investi
gated and got first-hand Information
Because of this Information he ottered
"the brave words In the Sanhedrin
against judging a man before hearing
him (John 7:45-52), and he also ren
dered the loving service at the Lord’s
tomb (John 19:38-42).
II. Jesus’ Discourse With Nicode
mus (vv. 317). .
The subject of this conversation was
the new birth.
1. The Necessity of the New Birth
. (w. 8-7).
It Is not a matter of choice whether
one is to he horn again, but of he-'
cesslty. If he Is ever to see or enter
the kingdom of God Regeneration
la the first demand the gospel of
Clirlst makes upon man.
(1) The kingdom of God Is a spirit
ual kingdom, therefore there must be
a splrtiual birth In order to enter It
(v. 8). As we enter the physical
kingdom by a natural birth, so we
enter the kingdom of God by a super
natural birth.
(2) The nature which we get through
the natural birth is radical and es»
senttally had (v. 6; ct. Gal. 6:19-21).
That which Is horn of the flesh Is flesh.
The flesh cannot he Improved (Jer.
12 :£3): cultivate and educate It all
yon please and It will still remain
fleoh. In ordtr to enter Into the M—^
dom of heaven there must he a na
ture fitted for heaven. There Is noth
ing that can be substituted for the
hew birth. Men today are trying to
substitute morality and education for
the new birth. Nleodemus possessed
these, yet Christ declared that he
needed something more. It is no more
possible to have a physical hei,ng with
out a physical birth than It Is to have
a spiritual nature without being horn
of the sp!-lt.
2. The Mystery of the New Birth
(vv. 8-13).
Though mysterious. Its results are
definite. We cannot discern from
whence the wind corneth, or whither
It goeth. hut we know that It blows
by Its effects. N The fruits of our
life demonstrate our nature, whether
It Is heavenly or carnal. We need not
be told that we have had a physical
birth, for oar bodies with their vari
ous faculties prove It Even so, the
presence within ns of a nature which
has no atlinity fhr the things of the
world, hut a strong affection for God
and a disposition to yield prompt
obedience to His commands, proves
that we have been born from above.
8. The Ground Upon Which the New
Birth Re^s (w. 14, 15).
Christ’s atoning death on the cross
makes regeneration .possible. He took
the place of sinners. His infinite
merit was pieced to their account; He
suffered In the sinner's steed.
4. For Whom Salvation Was Pro
vided (w. 1C. >17),
“Whosoever belleveth on Him."
These verses give In a condensed forth
. the whole plan of salvation. Observe:
(1) Its source—"God ao loved." (2)
Its ground, the death of Christ—“He
ev*rr.” (4) Its condition—“belleveth
ea Him." Its results—“should not per
ish. have everlasting life."
III. Man** Attitude Toward Christ
(vs. 18-21).
V Some Brilevs end Are Saved.
Those who believe are now free from
condemnation (John 5:24). They are
not only saved now but forever (John
10:28. 29).
2. Some Will Not Believe and Are
Therefore Resting Under the Condem
nation of God.
The awful sin which causes men
h* eternally lost Is unbelief In Christ
The enuse of thrir unbelief In Him
Is thrir love of sin. Refusal to come
ip Christ proves that men’s deeds ere
evil end that they love darkness
rather then light
