Regarding Knowledge, 1of3 ~
Introduction
~
This series is about questions involving Jesus. Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus
Christ while He walked on earth. Others
are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.
We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or
more posts). Even so, it is far from an
exhaustive list.
Scripture ~ “There
was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him,
‘Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these
signs that You do unless God is with him.’ Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.’
“Nicodemus said to Him, ‘How can a man be born when he is
old? Can he enter a second time into his
mother’s womb and be born?’ Jesus answered,
‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter the kingdom of God. That which is
born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, “You must be
born again.” The wind blows where it
wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and
where it goes. So is everyone who is born
of the Spirit.’
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, ‘How can these things be?’ Jesus
answered and said to him, ‘Are you the
teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We
know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do
not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came
down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world
to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:1-17).
