In the Gospel
of John chapters 3-4-5 we find three distinct types of sinners.
Passage ~ John
3:1-21
Person
~ A man named Nicodemus. A man of
high rank. A favored Jew. High social standing.
Contact
~ He came to the Savior. He sought
out Christ by night.

was a religious wreck.
The

but
rather, “What kind of wreck are you?”

Key Teaching / Lesson
~ You must be born again (first is physical birth—“born of water” and
second is spiritual birth—“born of the spirit”).
