The Gospel of John 3:1-2 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” (John 3:1-2 KJV)

Here's a man molded in the dark shadow of religion who I see did the right thing to do as the Lord expects of us to do. Many though, grilled this man for coming to see the Lord 'under the cover of the dark.' Yes, he may had perhaps tried to keep himself from the ire of his fellow religious rulers of the Jews, by having this clandestine meeting with the Lord. But I see him doing exactly what we are supposed to do if truly we seek for the light. Whether in the light of day or in the shadow of the night, (apart from the Lord, we are all spiritually in the dark) let us come. We need not flaunt about coming to the Lord. But, we need to come out into the Light declared in Genesis 1:1, who is Christ Jesus, lest, we remain groping in the dark.

By the small step he's taken, Nicodemus leapt into seeing a whole new light. As we, too, do the same by coming to the Lord Jesus Christ, be it in our darkest hour or in the brightest light of day, we will see things beyond the amazing signs and wonders of the work of His mighty hands that our naked eyes can see. When we come to Him by faith, in His grace, we are reborn. And, we'll see and learn new things by and in the light - who is Christ Jesus. He assures us with these words, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
