Nicodemus’ search
This article looks at the story of Nicodemus, a Pharisee who meets Jesus by night according to John 3:1-21. Nicodemus seeks to understand the biblical idea of being born again in order to enter the kingdom of God. He moves from fear to courageous faith, helping with Jesus’ burial after his crucifixion. This account shows how a genuine encounter with Jesus can transform a life. Nicodemus’ experience symbolizes the passage from intellectual curiosity to an authentic, committed faith.
John 7.50-52 (King James Version) :Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
