Jesus and Nicodemus continue in conversation regarding this second birth, being "born again," and we consider what may have been troubling Nicodemus, teacher of teachers, rabbi in Israel... both these men had thoughts about this.  How interesting it is to see the language each uses and how similar circumstances in Luke 1 are brought to mind as well.

Jesus knew/knows EXACTLY what is in man's heart (and it ain't always good), so He didn't entrust Himself to people, even when they were believing because of the signs He was doing.  No, it takes more, more that we explore in today's message asking, "Are YOU Trustworthy?"

God is precise on what He chose to include in the Bible, and when events happen, etc. It's no wonder that Jesus made predictions and prophecies that are so perfectly aligned and connected with His overall redemptive plan. Confounding the religious leaders at the time, Jesus zealously and righteously answers their question in the way that only Jesus could!

When Jesus starts flipping over tables and tossing money all over the place, you KNOW something's up.  And He was RIGHT to do it!  Not only that, but the God-man took the TIME to braid His own WHIP to crack in the temple.  This is what we call, PREMEDITATED... See Jesus in action from John 2.

Jesus split time in two when He was born on earth.  Jesus changes everything He touches.  Jesus performed a miracle at a wedding in Cana and the change was immediately and pleasantly positive.  From water to wine, from death to life, from old to new, Jesus transforms those who want to be transformed.  Your old life, your old ways need not apply any longer, when you diligently follow Jesus with all your heart.

Jesus performs His first miracle at a wedding, turning water to wine... what kind of water? The kind Jesus wanted.  What kind of wine?  The kind Jesus wanted.  The big question is, who will welcome that transformational process and allow Him to "Fill Me Up, Lord!"

Jesus guarantees greater things... yeah, but greater than what?  What are "these?"  Today, we explore what Jesus likely meant in these final two verses of John chapter 1... greater things for any and every disciple following Jesus.

Jesus guarantees His obedient, committed followers will see greater things than even He supernaturally performed on the earth... if we will expect it and declare it by faith... OPEN HEAVEN - ANGELS back and forth on our behalf... AMEN!

Whoever wants Jesus will get Jesus... not just someone named Jesus, but the real Jesus in all His fullness.  He is not interested in lip service, or mere proximity, but obedience, and life more abundantly because of it.  Jesus wants your life lived in the fullness of The Holy Spirit and all that entails.  We are beginning from the beginning, laying the foundation of our faith and not sugar-coating or side-stepping any of it... because that would be unprofitable for us all.  When you follow Jesus, He tells you, "you'll see" greater things than you've ever seen before in your own life.

Asking Jesus, "how do You know me" is kind of like asking the sun, "how are you so hot?"  Nevertheless, Nathanael asks this question and we process together in this message that brings clarity to just how well Jesus knows each and every one of us - and how we are meant to engage because of it.
