Nicodemus thinks that his religion is all about rule-following. ”No,” Jesus said, that’s not enough, and it will never bring you peace. Trying to do the right thing doesn’t change you; what changes you is developing a trusting relationship with God. Trust is the foundation for transformation and inner change. Nicodemus tried to live a good life; he wasn’t a bad person but was still unsatisfied with his life. Like, Nico, we can spend a lot of trying to do the right thing and feel like it’s getting us nowhere. Podcast 133 Text John 3
