Lessons from the NightComer

Listen what the scriptures say abt this person..his name is Nicodemus.1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

Now give ur ear..a member of an entire community and a man of the religious council.A Man who tithed correctly..who fasted 3 times a week,a master of the law!!It looks like some of us..a person who prays everyday,who does no evil,respected by societyand also a senior in the church...He came to JESUS.He had some questions.Many of us because of questions go back from Him..Friend you might have some questions the right person to ask those is Christ...Well this man came at night to Jesus..Our night shud not be too dark that we miss out the Light.We shud have sight and take the right decision to come to the light.Are you gropping in the dark,darkness of questions,of diseases,of burdens??Open ur eyes child of God..Come to the light.the light of answers..light of healing that Christ provides.

Another thing that struck me is..Nicodemus didnt even ask a question..he just said a fact first
Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." and also 2 other questions' in this big coversation
"How can a man be born when he is old?" 9"How can this be?" Totally 3 times He speaks..rest all are the Lord's words...When we come to His presence something similar shud happenIts He who takes Over..He speaks and we hear the most..He does and we experience it..
Yes when we draw closer to Him..Let Him do things the most..Let Him be the Lord.We see Nicodemus last at the foot of the cross.What a glorious experience.Take a decision...to be still and know that HE IS GOD.


Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed aboutwith many a conflict,
many a doubt;fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
