Nicodemus

Nicodemus, an important teacher in Jerusalem, came to Jesus at night. He knew that Jesus’ miracles showed that God was with Him.

Change from the Inside

Jesus explained that it is not enough to follow outward rules: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” That was the moment when Jesus spoke the best-known verse of all: John 3:16.

If at first he had come at night out of fear, at Jesus’ death Nicodemus stepped forward with courage.

A Royal Honor

He came with Joseph of Arimathea and brought a huge amount of costly spices (myrrh and aloes). They wrapped the Lord’s body in clean linen cloths and laid Him lovingly in the tomb.
