Pastor Ock Soo Park’s Lectures on the Gospel of John

Episode 4 - Nicodemus, the Man who Tried to Understand God


Listen Later

One night, Nicodemus came to see Jesus. He said, "We know that you're a teacher that has come from God. For no one can do the miracles that you do unless God was with him." Nicodemus knew that Jesus came from God. However, if Jesus had come from God, whether Jesus' words fit the thoughts of Nicodemus' or not, he should follow those words. If Jesus says something to Nicodemus, then Nicodemus should accept what He is saying. He should think, "Oh really? Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God?" But he was unable to accept the word. He thought instead, "How could an old man be born again? Can he enter the second time into the womb and come back out?"
He is saying that the words of Jesus' nonsense. Everyone, Jesus is not a human; He is God. He thinks of a world of thoughts that we cannot obtain to. He knows the scriptures and the wisdom that we cannot know of.
The more we read the Bible, we can see how holy Jesus is, and how full of love He is, and how wise He is. For us to evaluate and judge Jesus with our humanistic thinking is so foolish. However, Nicodemus thinks that he is wise. He tries to understand the words "born again" within his own standard, and so, he's unable to understand. That's why sometimes we do understand what Jesus says, but sometimes we are unable to understand. But if we are to believe in Jesus, we should not only believe in what we do understand but we should also believe in the words that we do not understand as well.
