Who is THE KING of KINGS??? ✔ The Message of JOHN 3!

A man and his wife went for an afternoon drive in the mountains. As the sun began to set, the wife mentioned to her husband that they were low on gas. She pointed out that gas stations in the mountains were not a numerous in the mountains as in the city. She suggested they go back to the gas station that they just passed. Like most husbands, this man refused to listen insisting he knew when and where to get gas. 

After several miles, he spotted an old country store with a single antique gas pump out front. It was so old, he wondered if it still worked. The husband went inside to ask about the pump and was relieved to discover that the old pump worked just fine. The husband thought, Everything is working out great. My wife was wrong. I was right for once. Sure I was lucky, but sometimes being lucky is better than being good. When he paid for the gas, the husband said to old mountaineer working the register, "It sure is good to be alive, isn't it?" The mountain man responded, "Can't say, I ain't never been any other way!" 

The message of John chapter 3 is about "being another way". Some of you now what is to be lost and then to be found. You know what it is to be dead in your sin and to be made alive by a new birth in Christ. Others can experience this new birth today. The Gospel of John is arranged around seven miracles that John calls signs of Christ's glory. 

Inquiring man 

This encounter with Jesus reads like a three act play beginning with a description of an inquiring man named Nicodemus. Act two consists of dilemma where the main character is presented with an interesting mystery. In the third act, Nicodemus is invited to resolve the mystery by responding to the invitation of Christ. Though we find several harsh criticisms of the Jewish religious establishment in the gospels, the Scripture describes Nicodemus as a devout leader who is genuinely seeking divine truth. As a practicing Pharisee, we can conclude that Nicodemus was religious, politically active, educated, financially secure, and a respected leader. For his day, Nicodemus had everything the world had to offer. But, he was lost. He was unsaved. He possessed a sin-sick soul that needed God's amazing grace to deliver him from sin.

Intriguing mystery

Jesus responds to the inquiry of Nicodemus with an intriguing mystery of being born again. Many of us have heard the phrase all of our lives, so we fail to grasp how strange the words would have been to Nicodemus hearing it for the first time. In the Gospel of John, several illustrations are used to describe eternal life. In addition to born again, John refers to eternal life as light, living water, and living bread. The terminology is an illustration that communicates spiritual principles that Nicodemus should know as a teacher of the Scriptures.

The concept of being born again reveals the spiritual principle of Unseen Reality. Jesus proclaims that a man needs to born twice-once by water referring to a physical birth and a second birth by the Spirit of God. We all experience a natural birth, but only those who believe in Christ are born again. While the terminology may have been new to Nicodemus, he was familiar with the biblical teaching that God is spirit. Relating to God is not just an academic exercise. It includes the mind, but knowing God is a spiritual experience of the soul. 

Inspiring message

Jesus' teaching on the exclusive entrance into the kingdom is not an arrogant claim; it is a bold and inspiring message. His invitation to be born again is Available To All. Jesus would explain a few verses later in the text by saying eternal life is available to "whosoever believes in Him." Jesus is the ultimate equal opportunity employer. He joyfully accepts all races, men and women, rich and poor, young and old. Jesus saves the sin-ridden and self-righteous.

Conclusion

As you consider the encounter of Nicodemus with Jesus, How would you describe your spiritual condition?

Are you interested in spiritual things? Are you questioning the exclusive claims of Christ? Are you willing to honestly consider the consequences of rejecting Christ? 

This incredible encounter illustrates that we all need to be born again. The Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The world will never meet the deepest hunger of your soul. 

Will you accept God's offer to be born again today? Will you receive the greatest miracle?
