Jesus – The Greatest Gift

Gift of Light

What if the greatest gift of Christmas isn’t under your tree, but hidden in plain sight — in the places you’d least expect? This week we unpack the “Gift of Light” in John 3, where Jesus meets Nicodemus, a religious leader searching for truth in the dark. The contrast is clear: some saw signs and believed, but Jesus knew their faith was shallow. Nicodemus comes with questions, and Jesus gives him the kind of answer that still echoes today — “You must be born again.” From a bronze serpent lifted in the wilderness to the Son of Man lifted on a cross, we discover that the true light doesn’t just decorate our lives — it exposes, disrupts, and ultimately transforms. In this episode, we explore how to name the darkness in our lives, take steps toward the light, and reflect it to a world still stumbling in the shadows.

John 3:1-21

Discussion topics
  1. Read John 3:1–21. What stands out to you in the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus?
  2. Why do you think John connects this story directly after the people who “believed” in Jesus for His signs? What is the difference between believing in signs and true faith? (side-note question… Pastor used the phrase unsaved believer; how do you feel about that statement?)
  3. What do you think Nicodemus was really looking for when he came to Jesus at night? Have you ever experienced a moment of quiet searching like that?
  4. Jesus said people avoid the light because it exposes their deeds. What’s something in your life that you’ve kept in the dark?  What would it look like for you to “step into the light” this week — spiritually, relationally, or emotionally?
  5. Think about your daily life — your home, work, or community. Where can you reflect the light of Jesus in a practical way?
