Who was Nicodemus? He was a Jewish religious leader, a Pharisee. Kind of like a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. He had power, prestige, influence, good morals, and position, but he was still missing something. He had a hole in his soul. Nic’s been looking to fill that hole in religion — in the books of Moses, the Torah, the Scriptures, the Prophets. Yet, he still couldn’t find it. Then Jesus came into his life.
I had that same feeling for many years. I kept looking for that “something” in the world and I couldn’t find it. I had a hole in my soul and I was looking to fill it in the wrong place, with the wrong people. Then Jesus came into my life.
Let’s dig in to Nic’s encounter with Jesus…
Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ Revelation 3:22 NLT – this is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Jesus is coming back soon! Are you ready?
