One night, a man named Nicodemus came to talk with Jesus. Nicodemus was a teacher who knew God’s laws very well, but he had questions he couldn’t answer on his own. Jesus told him something surprising: to enter God’s kingdom, a person must be “born anew.” Nicodemus was confused—how could someone be born again? Jesus explained that He wasn’t talking about a second physical birth, but about a new life that begins with faith.

Jesus taught Nicodemus that following rules perfectly isn’t what saves us. Instead, salvation comes from believing in Jesus and trusting the hope He brings to the world. Jesus reminded him that God’s love isn’t only for certain people or those with special status—it is for everyone. God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to bring light, life, and forgiveness to all.

At first, Nicodemus didn’t fully understand, but Jesus welcomed his questions and invited him to keep learning and growing. In the same way, everyone is welcome to come to Jesus, ask questions, and grow in faith—no matter where they are starting from. We hope to see you this Sunday so we can grow in faith together as we learn more about Jesus and God’s great love for us all.
