Monday-Read: John 3:1-2 Think: Why do you think John tells us Nicodemus is a Pharisee? Why does he come by night? Pray: For someone who Nicodemus reminds you of.
Tuesday-Read: John 3:3-7 Think: As Jesus uses the phrase here, what does ‘born again’ mean? Pray: For someone you know who has not been ‘born again’ to experience Jesus in this way.
Wednesday-Read: John 3:8-12 Think: Do you feel sorry for Nicdoemus that he doesn’t understand? Do you understand? Pray: Ask the Holy Spirit to ‘blow’ in your life and reveal himself to you.
Thursday-Read: John 3:13-15 Think: Go read Numbers 21:4-9. What correlation is Jesus making? When was he lifted up? Pray: Quiet your mind and try to imagine yourself in the desert with Moses, and then with Nicodemus and Jesus in the night.
Friday-Read: John 3:16-21 Think: These verses seem like a working definition of how John understood ‘born again’. How would you summarize them to someone who had never read the Bible before? Pray: Give thanks to the Lord for his love and his salvation.
