Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked, — John 7:50

Nicodemus came by night, afraid of what his peers would think, and the Lord didn't turn him away. A bruised reed He will not break, and the one who comes to Him will never be cast out. The fear of man brings a snare, but grace doesn't wait for you to get bold—it makes you bold. That same Nicodemus came out into the light at Calvary.
