3/16/25 John 3:16 “Great News!”
I wonder if Andrew witnessed that evening conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus recorded in John 3. Jesus talked about being born again. Because we are dead in our trespasses and sins, as stated in Ephesians 2:1, we need to be born again spiritually in order to experience true life. We are born again as we recognize and turn from our sin and rely on Jesus to save us. Because He died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, Jesus can give us eternal life when we believe in Him.
Apparently Nicodemus responded positively to his conversation with Jesus. In John 7:50-52, Nicodemus defended Jesus in front of his fellow Pharisees and council members. In John 19:39, he provided a mixture of myrrh and aloes to be used in Jesus’ burial. Apparently John 3:16 made a difference in his life, just as it has in the lives of others.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Has this verse made a difference in your life? Has Jesus saved you from your sins because you have believed in Him?
