This Lesson covers John 3: 1 – 3: 36, the story of Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus and John the Baptist, as the willing, humble servant and forerunner to the Messiah. The accompanying passages from the old Testament point to the importance of ancestry to identify Jesus, Jesus’ role in bringing salvation to those who dread God’s wrath, and the value of true humility and being born again, in the spirit with the promise of everlasting love and life.
