In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, Pastor Jad explores Gospel of John 3:1–17 through Jesus’ nighttime conversation with Nicodemus, inviting listeners to reflect on what it means to be “born from above.” Unpacking the rich symbolism and double meanings in John’s Gospel: light and darkness, wind and Spirit, lifting up and exaltation, the episode examines how sincere faith can coexist with honest questions. Centered on John 3:16, Pastor Jad reframes this well-known verse within its broader context, emphasizing God’s love for a confused and resistant world and clarifying that Jesus’ mission is not condemnation but salvation. This conversation encourages listeners to release control, trust the movement of the Spirit, and embrace the transforming love of God that brings eternal life not just someday, but beginning now.
