People in Jesus’s time wanted the Messiah to be very different than who Jesus was. Still today, we often desire that the central figure of our faith isn’t like Jesus. We want a conquering hero arriving with his armies of angels. Instead, we find a willing, suffering servant. The Bible makes it clear that the Jesus we get is far greater than we could have ever designed. He meets all our greatest needs from forgiveness to peace in times of trouble to eternal life with him in heaven.

In John 3, we see Jesus meet with a religious leader named Nicodemus—a man full of questions and doubts, a man who needed Jesus much like us—and Jesus demonstrates why in a world of doubt, we can trust him with our lives and our eternities.
