I. The History of Nlcodemus (w. 1, 2; Cf. 7:45-52; 19:38-42). The lesson of today has Its peculiar significance in the light of Nlcodemus’ station lu life He was a learned rabbi, a doctor of the law, and pre sumably a man of good character. His coming by night Indicates his timidity.' Like Joseph of Arlmathea. 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 uttered 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). tl. Jesus* Discourse With Nicode- tnue (vv. 3-17). The subject of this conversation was the new birth. 1. The Necessity of the New Birth (▼▼. 8-7). It is not a matter of choice whether one is to be horn again, hut of ne cessity. If he Is ever to see or enter the kingdom of God. Regeneration Is the first demand the gospel of I -lirlat noon Ifc, - i H) The kingdom tit God Is a splrlt- nal kingdom, therefore there must be a spirtiuut birth In order to enter It (▼. 3). As we enter theft*physical kingdom by a natural' birth, so we enter the kingdom of God by u super natural birth. (2) The nature which we get through the natural birth Is rudintl and es sentially bad (v. flref Gal. fl:19-21). That whlrh Is born of the flesh Is flesh. The flesh cannot Ik* Improved (Jer. 12:23); cultivate and educate It oil you please and tt will still remain flesh.' In order to enter into the king dom of heaven there must he a na ture fitted for heaven. There Is noth ing that can he substituted for the n**w birth. Men t«>day are trying to substitute morality and education for the new hlrth. Nlcodemos possessed these, yet flirlst declared that he needed something more. Tt la no more possible to have a physical being with out a physical birth than It Is to have a spiritual nature without being iTorn of the spirit. 2. The Mystery of the New* Birth (tv. 8-13). Though mysterious. Its results are definite. We cannot dlsccrti from whence the wind coweth, or whither - It goeth, hut we know that It blows hy its effects. The fruits of our life demonstrate our nature, whether It Is heavenly or carnal. We need not he told that we have had a physical birth, for our bodies with their vari ous faculties prove It. Even so, the presence within us of a nature which has no aftiuity for Ui^tl'ihgs of .the world, but a strong affection for God Williston, Jan. &—Mr. apd Mrs. R. J. Rountree and Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

"14, 15) Christ's atoning death on the cross makes regeneration'possible. He took the place of sinners. Ills Infinite merit was placed to-their account; He suffered In the slnneria stead. 4. For Whom Sfllvntlon Was Pro vided (w. 10, 17). “Whosoever believeth on Him.’’ These verses give in a condensed form the whole plan of salvation. Observe (1) Its source—“God so loved.” (2) Its ground, the death of Christ—“He <ver.’’ (4) Its condition—“believeth on Him.” Its results—“should not per ish, have everlasting life.” III. Man*s Attitude Toward Christ (vv. 18-21). 1. Some Believe and 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 to he eternally lost Is unbelief In Christ The cause of their unbelief in Him is their love of sin. Refusal to come to Christ proves that men’s deeds are evil 1 and that they love darkneea rather than light ^ mm . j ->-• /. ■ A v Notice of Incorporation.
