John 3:1-12

MEET THE MAN FOR TIMES LIKE THESE

MEETING JESUS IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN #7

JESUS IS THE MESSENGER – John 3:13

Philippians 2:5-8

JESUS IS THE MEDIATOR – John 3:14-15

Separation between God and man because of sin. Someone had to mediate, bring us together.

Numbers 21:4-9 – Serpent represents Satan and sin.

2 Corinthians 5:21 – Jesus was lifted-up and became sin for us, receiving the wrath of God for the sins of the world, and then raising from the dead

Vs. 15 – As the Israelites looked at the Serpent on the pole and lived, anyone who looks to Jesus in trusting faith has eternal life.

JESUS IS THE MESSAGE – John 3:16-17

The simplicity, splendor and power of these verses don’t always make sense to man but show the love of God!

JESUS IS THE MANDATE – John 3:18-20

God is narrow-minded and has every right to be!

If we are truly saved, we must have a burden to reach the lost who do not know Christ, as William Borden did.
