Harvest with Pastor Greg Laurie | Greg Laurie - Jesus and the Moral Man | April 28, 2025
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.343
  • Greg laurie: god demonstrated his love toward us, the bible
  • 00:00:04.848 --> 00:00:07.384
  • Says, that while we were yet sinners, christ died for us.
  • 00:00:07.517 --> 00:00:10.587
  • And god's love is unconditional, there's nothing you can do to
  • 00:00:10.687 --> 00:00:11.755
  • Earn it.
  • 00:00:14.724 --> 00:00:16.059
  • I think somehow we think, well, i have to earn god's love.
  • 00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:19.362
  • No, god loves you already.
  • 00:00:19.362 --> 00:00:21.931
  • He loves you as you are.
  • 00:00:21.931 --> 00:00:23.299
  • Now, that doesn't mean he approves of all the things you
  • 00:00:23.299 --> 00:00:25.335
  • Say and do, but you need to know that he loves
  • 00:00:25.335 --> 00:00:27.737
  • You unconditionally.
  • 00:00:27.737 --> 00:00:30.040
  • God's love is for everybody and it's universal.
  • 00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:33.176
  • He loves all people.
  • 00:00:33.176 --> 00:00:34.677
  • The bible says whosoever will call upon the name of the lord
  • 00:00:34.677 --> 00:00:38.448
  • Will be saved,
  • 00:00:38.448 --> 00:00:39.816
  • ♪ this is the day, ♪
  • 00:00:42.185 --> 00:00:44.387
  • ♪ the day when life begins. ♪
  • 00:00:44.387 --> 00:00:49.692
  • ♪ this is the day, ♪
  • 00:00:49.692 --> 00:00:52.262
  • ♪ the day when life begins. ♪♪
  • 00:00:52.262 --> 00:01:00.270
  • Greg: so just imagine for a moment, if you will, if
  • 00:01:04.374 --> 00:01:07.844
  • You could have a personal appointment with jesus, just you
  • 00:01:07.844 --> 00:01:12.015
  • And the lord hanging out maybe over a cup of coffee, you could
  • 00:01:12.015 --> 00:01:16.619
  • Ask him any question, no topic was off limits, just you
  • 00:01:16.619 --> 00:01:21.825
  • And jesus.
  • 00:01:21.825 --> 00:01:23.226
  • A younger person might have some different questions than an
  • 00:01:23.226 --> 00:01:26.663
  • Older person might.
  • 00:01:26.663 --> 00:01:28.198
  • A younger person might ask about their identity or their purpose
  • 00:01:28.198 --> 00:01:33.269
  • In life or what course their life would take, an older person
  • 00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:37.707
  • Might ask questions about the afterlife or their mortality.
  • 00:01:37.707 --> 00:01:42.979
  • Studies have shown that's what people think about as they
  • 00:01:42.979 --> 00:01:45.381
  • Get older.
  • 00:01:45.381 --> 00:01:46.716
  • In fact, it's what they ought to be thinking about as they get
  • 00:01:46.716 --> 00:01:48.585
  • Older, and we have a similar situation in the story
  • 00:01:48.585 --> 00:01:51.888
  • Before us.
  • 00:01:51.888 --> 00:01:53.256
  • We have an elderly gentleman thinking about his mortality,
  • 00:01:53.256 --> 00:01:56.693
  • Realizing he may not have that much longer to live, and he
  • 00:01:56.693 --> 00:02:00.096
  • Comes to jesus, and the name of this man is known to most of us,
  • 00:02:00.096 --> 00:02:03.733
  • His name was nicodemus.
  • 00:02:03.733 --> 00:02:05.902
  • Nicodemus was effectively a household name.
  • 00:02:05.902 --> 00:02:09.739
  • He was known to be a great spiritual leader.
  • 00:02:09.739 --> 00:02:12.842
  • He was an intellectual.
  • 00:02:12.842 --> 00:02:14.911
  • He was a deeply moral man, obviously a very religious man
  • 00:02:14.911 --> 00:02:19.582
  • And a leader of the highest order, and now he encounters a
  • 00:02:19.582 --> 00:02:23.753
  • Humble, a completely uneducated or comparatively uneducated poor
  • 00:02:23.753 --> 00:02:29.058
  • Carpenter from nazareth.
  • 00:02:29.058 --> 00:02:30.627
  • So, here we have the intellectual elite with a man
  • 00:02:30.627 --> 00:02:34.364
  • That was controversial, but it really wasn't a rabbi and a
  • 00:02:34.364 --> 00:02:37.700
  • Carpenter, this is effectively a conversation between god
  • 00:02:37.700 --> 00:02:41.771
  • And man.
  • 00:02:41.771 --> 00:02:43.106
  • And we could nominate--we could not nominate a better
  • 00:02:43.106 --> 00:02:46.442
  • Representative than nicodemus.
  • 00:02:46.442 --> 00:02:47.944
  • He was sort of the finest of humanity, sort of speaking on
  • 00:02:47.944 --> 00:02:52.282
  • Our behalf.
  • 00:02:52.282 --> 00:02:53.650
  • And so, jesus unfolds the mysteries of life to nicodemus,
  • 00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:57.687
  • And christ also utters probably the best known bible verse of
  • 00:02:57.687 --> 00:03:02.192
  • All time, john 3:16.
  • 00:03:02.192 --> 00:03:04.694
  • But before this conversation begins to unfold in john 3, we
  • 00:03:04.694 --> 00:03:08.598
  • Have what happened before it in john chapter 2, verse 23.
  • 00:03:08.598 --> 00:03:13.203
  • Look at that with me.
  • 00:03:13.203 --> 00:03:14.537
  • "because of the miraculous signs jesus did in jerusalem at the
  • 00:03:14.537 --> 00:03:18.441
  • Passover celebration, many began to trust him."
  • 00:03:18.441 --> 00:03:21.611
  • Okay, that sounds good.
  • 00:03:21.611 --> 00:03:23.046
  • Maybe your translation says many believed in him, but then this,
  • 00:03:23.046 --> 00:03:27.016
  • "but jesus didn't trust them, because he knew all people.
  • 00:03:27.016 --> 00:03:31.487
  • No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what
  • 00:03:31.487 --> 00:03:35.091
  • Was in each human heart."
  • 00:03:35.091 --> 00:03:37.026
  • Wow, powerful statement.
  • 00:03:37.026 --> 00:03:38.494
  • Many trusted in him but effectively he didn't trust
  • 00:03:38.494 --> 00:03:42.131
  • In them.
  • 00:03:42.131 --> 00:03:43.466
  • Many believed in him, but he didn't believe in them, why?
  • 00:03:43.466 --> 00:03:46.269
  • Because their faith was superficial.
  • 00:03:46.269 --> 00:03:48.404
  • It was based on the spectacular, on miracles that they had seen,
  • 00:03:48.404 --> 00:03:52.408
  • It wasn't a genuine and real faith.
  • 00:03:52.408 --> 00:03:55.178
  • When someone is really seeking god, the lord will reveal
  • 00:03:55.178 --> 00:03:58.681
  • Himself to them, but if you're not a true seeker, god won't
  • 00:03:58.681 --> 00:04:01.951
  • Reveal himself to you.
  • 00:04:01.951 --> 00:04:03.653
  • Now, in contrast to this, we come to chapter 3, "but there
  • 00:04:03.653 --> 00:04:06.723
  • Was a man of the pharisees named nicodemus."
  • 00:04:06.723 --> 00:04:09.459
  • Now, when the bible was originally written, there were
  • 00:04:09.459 --> 00:04:11.828
  • Not chapters and verses.
  • 00:04:11.828 --> 00:04:13.896
  • Jesus did not begin a statement with, "chapter 1, verse 1."
  • 00:04:13.896 --> 00:04:17.900
  • We added that later so we could find our way around in our
  • 00:04:17.900 --> 00:04:21.304
  • Bibles, so this is a flow of thought.
  • 00:04:21.304 --> 00:04:24.340
  • So, these people believed in him, but he didn't believe in
  • 00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:27.677
  • Them, but there was a pharisee named nicodemus.
  • 00:04:27.677 --> 00:04:31.114
  • So, in contrast here's a true seeker.
  • 00:04:31.114 --> 00:04:33.583
  • Let's look at it, john 3, we read that "there was a man of
  • 00:04:33.583 --> 00:04:37.854
  • The pharisees named nicodemus, a ruler of the jews.
  • 00:04:37.854 --> 00:04:41.924
  • This man came to jesus by night."
  • 00:04:41.924 --> 00:04:44.093
  • You might underline that, we'll come back to it.
  • 00:04:44.093 --> 00:04:46.462
  • He came to jesus by night, "and said to him, 'rabbi, we know
  • 00:04:46.462 --> 00:04:50.099
  • That you are a teacher come from god, for no one can do these
  • 00:04:50.099 --> 00:04:53.803
  • Signs that you do unless god is with him.'
  • 00:04:53.803 --> 00:04:56.172
  • Jesus answered and said to him, 'most assuredly i say to you,
  • 00:04:56.172 --> 00:04:59.976
  • Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of god.'
  • 00:04:59.976 --> 00:05:04.414
  • Nicodemus said to him, 'but how can a man be born when he's old?
  • 00:05:04.414 --> 00:05:08.217
  • Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?'
  • 00:05:08.217 --> 00:05:11.921
  • Jesus answered, 'most assuredly i say to you, unless one is born
  • 00:05:11.921 --> 00:05:16.292
  • Of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of god.
  • 00:05:16.292 --> 00:05:20.430
  • That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of
  • 00:05:20.430 --> 00:05:23.499
  • The spirit is spirit.
  • 00:05:23.499 --> 00:05:25.268
  • Don't marvel that i have said to you, "you must be born again."
  • 00:05:25.268 --> 00:05:29.806
  • The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it but
  • 00:05:29.806 --> 00:05:32.909
  • Cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes.
  • 00:05:32.909 --> 00:05:35.511
  • So is everyone born of the spirit.'
  • 00:05:35.511 --> 00:05:37.747
  • Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'how can these things be?'
  • 00:05:37.747 --> 00:05:42.151
  • Jesus answered and said, 'are you the teacher of israel and
  • 00:05:42.151 --> 00:05:46.723
  • You don't know these things?'"
  • 00:05:46.723 --> 00:05:49.158
  • We'll stop there.
  • 00:05:49.158 --> 00:05:50.493
  • So, here's nicodemus, a man who was hungry for real truth.
  • 00:05:50.493 --> 00:05:54.197
  • He had everything one would want in life,
  • 00:05:54.197 --> 00:05:56.866
  • But something was missing.
  • 00:05:56.866 --> 00:05:59.135
  • You know, as long as we think our dream is gonna be realized,
  • 00:05:59.135 --> 00:06:03.940
  • We may press on in life.
  • 00:06:03.940 --> 00:06:06.275
  • We set certain goals, i'm gonna go to school, i'm gonna go to
  • 00:06:06.275 --> 00:06:09.479
  • College, i'm gonna get that degree, i'm gonna get that good
  • 00:06:09.479 --> 00:06:12.682
  • Job, i'm hopefully gonna get, you know, promoted in my job and
  • 00:06:12.682 --> 00:06:16.919
  • Then i'm gonna get married and then we'll have kids.
  • 00:06:16.919 --> 00:06:19.355
  • These are all goals that we set, and maybe we meet those goals,
  • 00:06:19.355 --> 00:06:23.259
  • And after we've been married for, you know, 15 years, we say,
  • 00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:27.029
  • "i don't know, maybe i'll marry somebody else," and so we trade
  • 00:06:27.029 --> 00:06:30.133
  • Our spouses in.
  • 00:06:30.133 --> 00:06:32.001
  • And then with the kids you say, you know, i enjoy having kids,
  • 00:06:32.001 --> 00:06:34.804
  • But are they ever gonna leave the house?
  • 00:06:34.804 --> 00:06:36.973
  • They're all in their 50s now.
  • 00:06:36.973 --> 00:06:38.474
  • And so, you know, we just keep thinking when i get to this
  • 00:06:38.474 --> 00:06:43.279
  • Certain place, then i'm gonna be happy, and then you get to that
  • 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.983
  • Place, and you're still not happy.
  • 00:06:46.983 --> 00:06:48.985
  • Here's something that's true of every person, i don't care if
  • 00:06:48.985 --> 00:06:51.988
  • They're young or old, famous, infamous, or completely unknown.
  • 00:06:51.988 --> 00:06:56.192
  • Doesn't matter if they're a man or a woman, everyone deep down
  • 00:06:56.192 --> 00:06:59.896
  • Inside is empty, and why are they empty?
  • 00:06:59.896 --> 00:07:02.698
  • Because effectively god created us with a void in our life that
  • 00:07:02.698 --> 00:07:07.036
  • Can only be filled with him.
  • 00:07:07.036 --> 00:07:09.772
  • The bible says he made the creation subject to emptiness.
  • 00:07:09.772 --> 00:07:13.309
  • So, you'll try to fill that void with so many things,
  • 00:07:16.512 --> 00:07:19.649
  • Relationships, sexual experiences, drugs, alcohol,
  • 00:07:19.649 --> 00:07:23.653
  • Accomplishments, possessions, the list goes on, but you'll
  • 00:07:23.653 --> 00:07:27.924
  • Only find the satisfaction you seek in a relationship with god.
  • 00:07:27.924 --> 00:07:31.060
  • Number one, everyone's empty.
  • 00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.428
  • Number two, everyone's lonely.
  • 00:07:32.428 --> 00:07:34.464
  • You may have a lot of friends, you may be at a party with
  • 00:07:34.464 --> 00:07:37.400
  • People all around you and a deep sense of loneliness just sweeps
  • 00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:41.771
  • Over you.
  • 00:07:41.771 --> 00:07:43.105
  • That's a loneliness for god.
  • 00:07:43.105 --> 00:07:44.774
  • Thirdly, everyone is guilty.
  • 00:07:44.774 --> 00:07:46.943
  • We feel guilt.
  • 00:07:46.943 --> 00:07:48.311
  • We try to mask it, we try to pretend it's not there, but it
  • 00:07:48.311 --> 00:07:51.647
  • Is there, and you know why you feel guilty?
  • 00:07:51.647 --> 00:07:54.083
  • Because you're guilty, because you're a sinner, i'm a sinner.
  • 00:07:54.083 --> 00:07:57.653
  • We've all broken god's commandments.
  • 00:07:57.653 --> 00:07:59.822
  • And lastly, everyone is afraid to die.
  • 00:07:59.822 --> 00:08:03.059
  • I know we'll show great bravado and laugh at it.
  • 00:08:03.059 --> 00:08:05.862
  • No, deep down inside, when you're laying your head on the
  • 00:08:05.862 --> 00:08:09.332
  • Pillow, you think of your mortality and people are afraid
  • 00:08:09.332 --> 00:08:13.736
  • To die.
  • 00:08:13.736 --> 00:08:15.071
  • Well, the gospel answers all of those issues.
  • 00:08:15.071 --> 00:08:17.139
  • So, coming back to nicodemus, here he is, powerful, rich,
  • 00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:20.843
  • Famous, people went to him for answers, but he had questions,
  • 00:08:20.843 --> 00:08:25.848
  • So he comes to jesus.
  • 00:08:25.848 --> 00:08:27.550
  • And verse 1 says he was a pharisee.
  • 00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:31.454
  • Now, the pharisees and the sadducees were the two main
  • 00:08:31.454 --> 00:08:35.324
  • Religious groups of the day.
  • 00:08:35.324 --> 00:08:38.761
  • They didn't agree on much.
  • 00:08:38.761 --> 00:08:40.730
  • The only thing the pharisees and sadducees seemed to agree on was
  • 00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:44.867
  • Their hatred of jesus because he was bad for business and he blew
  • 00:08:44.867 --> 00:08:49.772
  • Their cover and exposed their hypocrisy.
  • 00:08:49.772 --> 00:08:52.308
  • But the pharisees believed in an afterlife and an eternal reward
  • 00:08:52.308 --> 00:08:56.979
  • And the sadducees did not.
  • 00:08:56.979 --> 00:08:59.148
  • The sadducees believed that when you died, you simply cease to
  • 00:08:59.148 --> 00:09:02.818
  • Exist, which is a pretty bleak outlook on life.
  • 00:09:02.818 --> 00:09:06.322
  • Maybe that's how they got their name, sadducee, they were sad,
  • 00:09:06.322 --> 00:09:10.826
  • You see, right?
  • 00:09:10.826 --> 00:09:12.194
  • And we usually think of the pharisees in a negative light,
  • 00:09:15.865 --> 00:09:19.435
  • And understandably so because christ saved his most scathing
  • 00:09:19.435 --> 00:09:23.639
  • Words for these religious leaders, but they weren't
  • 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.809
  • All bad.
  • 00:09:26.809 --> 00:09:28.811
  • In fact, nicodemus was a good pharisee, he was looking
  • 00:09:28.811 --> 00:09:32.381
  • For truth.
  • 00:09:32.381 --> 00:09:33.749
  • But they were a select group, never numbering more than 6,000,
  • 00:09:33.749 --> 00:09:37.420
  • And each had taken a solemn vow before three witnesses that they
  • 00:09:37.420 --> 00:09:41.724
  • Would dedicate their entire life to the keeping of the
  • 00:09:41.724 --> 00:09:45.394
  • Commandments of god.
  • 00:09:45.394 --> 00:09:47.630
  • But they weren't satisfied with the scripture alone, so there
  • 00:09:47.630 --> 00:09:51.400
  • Was another group called the scribes that came up with a
  • 00:09:51.400 --> 00:09:54.604
  • Whole 'nother book, very thick, called the mishnah.
  • 00:09:54.604 --> 00:09:57.807
  • It had 24 chapters alone dedicated to how to keep
  • 00:09:57.807 --> 00:10:01.844
  • The sabbath.
  • 00:10:01.844 --> 00:10:03.179
  • And in addition to the mishnah, the scribes wrote a commentary
  • 00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:06.315
  • On the mishnah called the talmud.
  • 00:10:06.315 --> 00:10:08.851
  • So, they have all of these books and all of these rules and all
  • 00:10:08.851 --> 00:10:12.888
  • Of these regulations, and they felt if we do all of these
  • 00:10:12.888 --> 00:10:16.325
  • Things, we will be pleasing to god.
  • 00:10:16.325 --> 00:10:19.962
  • They also would put on displays of piety and religiousness.
  • 00:10:19.962 --> 00:10:26.869
  • When they would pray, they would pray loudly on a street corner.
  • 00:10:26.869 --> 00:10:30.606
  • You remember the story that jesus told of a pharisee and
  • 00:10:30.606 --> 00:10:33.876
  • A publican that went into the temple to pray, and the pharisee
  • 00:10:33.876 --> 00:10:38.547
  • Said, "god, i thank you i'm not like other men.
  • 00:10:38.547 --> 00:10:41.617
  • I fast, i tithe, and i'm not like this publican over here,"
  • 00:10:41.617 --> 00:10:47.690
  • And the publican, who is a tax collector, just said, "god, be
  • 00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:51.260
  • Merciful to me, a sinner."
  • 00:10:51.260 --> 00:10:52.595
  • But that's typical pharisetical behavior, "i'm so
  • 00:10:52.595 --> 00:10:55.431
  • Awesome, i'm better than everybody else," but you know we
  • 00:10:55.431 --> 00:10:57.933
  • Can be like pharisees, too.
  • 00:10:57.933 --> 00:10:59.869
  • We can do things for theater.
  • 00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:02.004
  • We can do things to make people think we're more spiritual than
  • 00:11:02.004 --> 00:11:05.041
  • We really are.
  • 00:11:05.041 --> 00:11:06.409
  • I mean, they had all of their extra volumes to the bible, we
  • 00:11:06.409 --> 00:11:08.811
  • Can have all of our commentaries that we carry with us to church,
  • 00:11:08.811 --> 00:11:12.214
  • Commentaries, really big bible, our bible's bigger than
  • 00:11:12.214 --> 00:11:15.618
  • Anyone's bible.
  • 00:11:15.618 --> 00:11:17.253
  • And we take pictures of ourselves doing devotions with
  • 00:11:17.253 --> 00:11:20.456
  • Our bible and all of our commentaries in front of us, and
  • 00:11:20.456 --> 00:11:24.026
  • We're, wow, look at me, you know?
  • 00:11:24.026 --> 00:11:25.828
  • And we're learning a few greek words now and we use them all
  • 00:11:25.828 --> 00:11:28.698
  • The time even when we don't need to.
  • 00:11:28.698 --> 00:11:31.000
  • You don't need to use greek when you're ordering it at in-n-out
  • 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.436
  • Burger, but you do it anyway.
  • 00:11:33.436 --> 00:11:35.504
  • You just do things that cause people to think you're more
  • 00:11:35.504 --> 00:11:38.507
  • Spiritual than you really are.
  • 00:11:38.507 --> 00:11:40.209
  • Here's the bottom line, if you're a really spiritual
  • 00:11:40.209 --> 00:11:42.945
  • Person, you won't be a show off, you'll be more humble.
  • 00:11:42.945 --> 00:11:46.749
  • You wanna search yourself and say look how great and awesome i
  • 00:11:46.749 --> 00:11:50.453
  • Am, you'll do the very opposite.
  • 00:11:50.453 --> 00:11:52.822
  • After years of walking with god, the apostle paul himself said,
  • 00:11:52.822 --> 00:11:56.792
  • Hey, it's not that i've already attained, but i press on toward
  • 00:11:56.792 --> 00:12:01.931
  • The mark for the prize of the upward call of god in christ.
  • 00:12:01.931 --> 00:12:05.534
  • Loose paraphrase, hey, i've got a long ways to go.
  • 00:12:05.534 --> 00:12:09.271
  • But that's the way the pharisees rolled, and they thought that
  • 00:12:09.271 --> 00:12:12.942
  • They were better than anyone else.
  • 00:12:12.942 --> 00:12:14.977
  • So, along comes nicodemus.
  • 00:12:14.977 --> 00:12:16.879
  • Now, he's one of the primary leaders.
  • 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:19.348
  • He's identified as a ruler.
  • 00:12:19.348 --> 00:12:20.683
  • There was a ruler among the pharisees.
  • 00:12:20.683 --> 00:12:22.451
  • So, now we have the pharisees that are an elite group, now we
  • 00:12:22.451 --> 00:12:26.055
  • Have the sanhedrin that rules over the pharisees, and
  • 00:12:26.055 --> 00:12:29.592
  • Nicodemus was on the top of the heap.
  • 00:12:29.592 --> 00:12:33.562
  • He was the goat, right?
  • 00:12:33.562 --> 00:12:36.866
  • Someone called me the goat the other day, i was
  • 00:12:36.866 --> 00:12:38.667
  • Really complimented.
  • 00:12:38.667 --> 00:12:40.002
  • Hey, goat, they said, old goat, get out of the way, that's it's.
  • 00:12:40.002 --> 00:12:44.073
  • Wait, how did you mean that exactly?
  • 00:12:44.073 --> 00:12:46.776
  • I was offended. [bleats]
  • 00:12:46.776 --> 00:12:48.410
  • I just moved, you know, very quickly, as quickly as an old
  • 00:12:48.410 --> 00:12:52.014
  • Goat can move, actually.
  • 00:12:52.014 --> 00:12:55.017
  • I was talking to some gen z kids and they told me about the term
  • 00:12:55.017 --> 00:12:59.321
  • Rizz, he had rizz, right?
  • 00:12:59.321 --> 00:13:01.757
  • It means he had charisma.
  • 00:13:01.757 --> 00:13:03.092
  • Well, he did.
  • 00:13:03.092 --> 00:13:04.493
  • He was the man that others went to for advice, and so he comes
  • 00:13:04.493 --> 00:13:10.099
  • To jesus and we look at this now in three ways this
  • 00:13:10.099 --> 00:13:15.571
  • Conversation goes.
  • 00:13:15.571 --> 00:13:16.939
  • Number one, they had a conversation face to face.
  • 00:13:16.939 --> 00:13:20.109
  • Face to face, verses 2 to 3, mind to mind, verses 4 to 8, and
  • 00:13:20.109 --> 00:13:25.381
  • Finally heart to heart, verses 9 to 21.
  • 00:13:25.381 --> 00:13:30.419
  • So, here's point number one, nicodemus came to jesus by
  • 00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:34.190
  • Night, but at least he came.
  • 00:13:34.190 --> 00:13:36.826
  • He came to jesus by night, but at least he came.
  • 00:13:36.826 --> 00:13:40.129
  • So, it was nic at night.
  • 00:13:40.129 --> 00:13:42.498
  • I want to get that joke out of the way.
  • 00:13:42.498 --> 00:13:45.234
  • It's a dated joke because there is no nick at nite anymore,
  • 00:13:45.234 --> 00:13:48.037
  • Is there?
  • 00:13:48.037 --> 00:13:49.738
  • So, people who are older go, yeah, i remember that.
  • 00:13:49.738 --> 00:13:53.742
  • Okay, so he comes at night, now why, why did nicodemus come
  • 00:13:53.742 --> 00:13:58.647
  • At night?
  • 00:13:58.647 --> 00:13:59.982
  • Well, the obvious reason would have been he's nicodemus,
  • 00:13:59.982 --> 00:14:03.485
  • Everyone knows him, he's the guy that's supposed to have
  • 00:14:03.485 --> 00:14:06.422
  • The answers.
  • 00:14:06.422 --> 00:14:07.890
  • He didn't want to be seen talking to jesus, that could be
  • 00:14:07.890 --> 00:14:10.893
  • The reason.
  • 00:14:10.893 --> 00:14:12.328
  • Another reason could be that, well, jesus was a busy guy and
  • 00:14:12.328 --> 00:14:17.833
  • To the point so was nicodemus.
  • 00:14:17.833 --> 00:14:20.269
  • Excuse me, jesus, every day was filled with activities, he was
  • 00:14:20.269 --> 00:14:25.007
  • Raising the dead, he was healing the sick, he was giving the
  • 00:14:25.007 --> 00:14:28.711
  • Greatest teachings ever given, teaching them parables so much,
  • 00:14:28.711 --> 00:14:33.582
  • And at the end of the day he would be exhausted, but.
  • 00:14:33.582 --> 00:14:35.951
  • Nicodemus did not want a moment with the lord, he wanted a
  • 00:14:35.951 --> 00:14:40.990
  • Conversation with christ.
  • 00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:43.893
  • He effectively wanted an interview, and so he came
  • 00:14:43.893 --> 00:14:48.430
  • At night.
  • 00:14:48.430 --> 00:14:49.765
  • Point number two, better to have a weak beginning and a strong
  • 00:14:49.765 --> 00:14:53.269
  • Finish than the opposite.
  • 00:14:53.269 --> 00:14:55.704
  • So, nicodemus didn't have the strongest beginning.
  • 00:14:59.074 --> 00:15:01.377
  • He kinda comes under the cover of night, has this conversation
  • 00:15:01.377 --> 00:15:04.914
  • With christ, but in the end he came through for jesus.
  • 00:15:04.914 --> 00:15:10.319
  • In the end, nicodemus, along with a man named joseph, excuse
  • 00:15:10.319 --> 00:15:14.423
  • Me, of arimathea, came and claimed the body of
  • 00:15:14.423 --> 00:15:18.193
  • Christ publicly.
  • 00:15:18.193 --> 00:15:19.695
  • That was a very unpopular and even dangerous thing for the two
  • 00:15:19.695 --> 00:15:23.632
  • Of them to do, but it's even said nicodemus who came to jesus
  • 00:15:23.632 --> 00:15:28.337
  • By night came with joseph of arimathea to take the dead body
  • 00:15:28.337 --> 00:15:33.309
  • Of christ and bury it.
  • 00:15:33.309 --> 00:15:36.211
  • So, there's some people that have a strong beginning but they
  • 00:15:36.211 --> 00:15:39.615
  • Have a bad ending, and the christian life is compared to a
  • 00:15:39.615 --> 00:15:43.052
  • Race on more than one occasion.
  • 00:15:43.052 --> 00:15:45.854
  • And the key of this race that we're running is not only to win
  • 00:15:45.854 --> 00:15:50.225
  • To the best of our ability, but it's to finish it well.
  • 00:15:50.225 --> 00:15:54.229
  • The apostle paul said, "i wanna finish my race with joy."
  • 00:15:54.229 --> 00:15:59.468
  • Then he wrote to timothy, "i fought the good fight, i kept
  • 00:15:59.468 --> 00:16:02.504
  • The faith, i finished the course, henceforth there is
  • 00:16:02.504 --> 00:16:05.908
  • Laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the lord the
  • 00:16:05.908 --> 00:16:09.244
  • Righteous judge will give to me in that day, and not to me only
  • 00:16:09.244 --> 00:16:12.614
  • But to all who love his appearing," so finishing well.
  • 00:16:12.614 --> 00:16:16.452
  • Maybe nicodemus had a strong--i mean, a weak beginning, but he
  • 00:16:16.452 --> 00:16:20.422
  • Had a strong finish.
  • 00:16:20.422 --> 00:16:21.757
  • Consider this, judas iscariot was an apostle in good standing
  • 00:16:21.757 --> 00:16:26.228
  • While old nicodemus was groping his way in, but in the end of
  • 00:16:26.228 --> 00:16:30.265
  • Our lord's ministry, judas betrayed christ and nicodemus
  • 00:16:30.265 --> 00:16:35.237
  • Came through with flying colors.
  • 00:16:35.237 --> 00:16:37.573
  • Now, nicodemus has a lot of respect for jesus.
  • 00:16:37.573 --> 00:16:40.542
  • This is shown by what he says in verse 2, "rabbi, we know that
  • 00:16:40.542 --> 00:16:45.381
  • You're a teacher come from god, for no one can do these signs
  • 00:16:45.381 --> 00:16:49.818
  • That you do unless god is with him."
  • 00:16:49.818 --> 00:16:52.254
  • That's amazing because nicodemus was the rabbi's rabbi, and he
  • 00:16:52.254 --> 00:16:57.993
  • Comes to jesus and calls him rabbi.
  • 00:16:57.993 --> 00:17:01.864
  • "rabbi, we know that you're come from god," and nicodemus being a
  • 00:17:01.864 --> 00:17:05.367
  • Student of the bible probably read what daniel said
  • 00:17:05.367 --> 00:17:09.538
  • In chapter 9.
  • 00:17:09.538 --> 00:17:10.973
  • Daniel spoke of the messiah arriving and actually gave a
  • 00:17:10.973 --> 00:17:15.144
  • Very exact timetable.
  • 00:17:15.144 --> 00:17:17.946
  • And if nicodemus took the time to look at that timetable, he
  • 00:17:17.946 --> 00:17:21.817
  • Would have discovered messiah should be alive at that very
  • 00:17:21.817 --> 00:17:25.687
  • Moment, but then daniel goes on to say, "but the messiah will
  • 00:17:25.687 --> 00:17:29.658
  • Then be cut off."
  • 00:17:29.658 --> 00:17:30.993
  • In other words, the messiah was going to die, so nicodemus is
  • 00:17:30.993 --> 00:17:34.329
  • Thinking i'm getting old, messiah is here, he could die at
  • 00:17:34.329 --> 00:17:38.867
  • Any time, i've got to find him.
  • 00:17:38.867 --> 00:17:41.070
  • Could jesus be this messiah?
  • 00:17:41.070 --> 00:17:44.206
  • And i think nicodemus thought jesus was the messiah, but he
  • 00:17:44.206 --> 00:17:48.043
  • Just wanted more information, he wanted more evidence, if
  • 00:17:48.043 --> 00:17:52.881
  • You will.
  • 00:17:52.881 --> 00:17:54.216
  • He was a man that was searching for god, and i think all around
  • 00:17:54.216 --> 00:17:57.719
  • Us there are people that are searching for god today, they're
  • 00:17:57.719 --> 00:18:01.290
  • Just waiting for someone like you to tell them how to
  • 00:18:01.290 --> 00:18:05.494
  • Find him.
  • 00:18:05.494 --> 00:18:06.829
  • God in his wisdom has chosen to reach people that do not believe
  • 00:18:06.829 --> 00:18:11.733
  • Through people who do believe, through the proclamation of
  • 00:18:11.733 --> 00:18:15.671
  • The gospel.
  • 00:18:15.671 --> 00:18:17.039
  • How can i understand this unless someone shows me the way?
  • 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.877
  • That was nicodemus.
  • 00:18:21.877 --> 00:18:23.479
  • He wants to know how, how do you do this, what do i do?
  • 00:18:23.479 --> 00:18:28.884
  • And so, here he comes to jesus and this conversation begins and
  • 00:18:28.884 --> 00:18:34.022
  • Jesus tells him you must be born again.
  • 00:18:34.022 --> 00:18:38.827
  • 2 corinthians 5 sums it up perfectly, "if any man be in
  • 00:18:38.827 --> 00:18:43.332
  • Christ, he is an altogether different kind of person.
  • 00:18:43.332 --> 00:18:48.103
  • Old things have passed away, behold, everything becomes fresh
  • 00:18:48.103 --> 00:18:52.774
  • And new."
  • 00:18:52.774 --> 00:18:54.977
  • Jesus says you must be born again.
  • 00:18:54.977 --> 00:18:58.113
  • It means born from above.
  • 00:18:58.113 --> 00:19:00.082
  • You must experience a spiritual rebirth, nicodemus.
  • 00:19:00.082 --> 00:19:04.653
  • All of your rules and your regulations and reading the
  • 00:19:04.653 --> 00:19:08.023
  • Mishnah and the talmud and all the rest of it hasn't got you
  • 00:19:08.023 --> 00:19:11.960
  • Any closer to god.
  • 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:13.595
  • You need to be born all over again.
  • 00:19:13.595 --> 00:19:16.131
  • Nicodemus is like, you mean go back into my mother's womb?
  • 00:19:16.131 --> 00:19:19.635
  • No, i don't mean that, it's a metaphor, buddy.
  • 00:19:19.635 --> 00:19:23.939
  • It's a picture of what will happen to you spiritually.
  • 00:19:23.939 --> 00:19:27.676
  • Bringing me to point number three, god loves you.
  • 00:19:27.676 --> 00:19:30.846
  • Oh, i know it seems like a cliche but it's absolutely true.
  • 00:19:30.846 --> 00:19:35.784
  • Some people picture god as a cosmic killjoy out to ruin their
  • 00:19:35.784 --> 00:19:39.321
  • Lives, but the reality is god loves you and has a plan for
  • 00:19:39.321 --> 00:19:44.359
  • Your life and he longs for a relationship with you.
  • 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.996
  • Now, the pagan gods of this time were so different.
  • 00:19:47.996 --> 00:19:52.367
  • They would show favor to certain individuals or groups, but their
  • 00:19:52.367 --> 00:19:56.605
  • Favor was based on sacrifices or offerings or somehow
  • 00:19:56.605 --> 00:20:00.642
  • Being appeased.
  • 00:20:00.642 --> 00:20:01.977
  • There was no concept of a loving deity wanting a relationship
  • 00:20:01.977 --> 00:20:06.181
  • With mankind.
  • 00:20:06.181 --> 00:20:07.549
  • So, jesus comes along, speaking of the true and living god, "for
  • 00:20:07.549 --> 00:20:11.720
  • God so loved the world," and god proved his love by sending
  • 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:17.092
  • His son.
  • 00:20:17.092 --> 00:20:18.427
  • "god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son."
  • 00:20:18.427 --> 00:20:22.431
  • You know, we can talk about love all day long, but god
  • 00:20:22.431 --> 00:20:25.067
  • Demonstrated his love for us in a tangible way.
  • 00:20:25.067 --> 00:20:29.238
  • Jesus said, "greater love has no man than this, that he lay down
  • 00:20:29.238 --> 00:20:33.342
  • His life for his friends," and christ laid his life down for
  • 00:20:33.342 --> 00:20:36.979
  • Each of us.
  • 00:20:36.979 --> 00:20:38.513
  • God demonstrated his love toward us, the bible says, that while
  • 00:20:38.513 --> 00:20:42.050
  • We were yet sinners, christ died for us, and god's love
  • 00:20:42.050 --> 00:20:45.020
  • Is unconditional.
  • 00:20:45.020 --> 00:20:46.822
  • There's nothing you can do to earn it.
  • 00:20:46.822 --> 00:20:49.758
  • I think somehow we think, well, i have to earn god's love.
  • 00:20:49.758 --> 00:20:53.128
  • No, god loves you already.
  • 00:20:53.128 --> 00:20:55.964
  • He loves you as you are.
  • 00:20:55.964 --> 00:20:57.332
  • Now, that doesn't mean he approves of all the things you
  • 00:20:57.332 --> 00:20:59.134
  • Say and do, but you need to know that he loves
  • 00:20:59.134 --> 00:21:01.503
  • You unconditionally.
  • 00:21:01.503 --> 00:21:03.772
  • He loves you all the time.
  • 00:21:03.772 --> 00:21:05.107
  • Now, some extreme calvinists would say god's love is only for
  • 00:21:05.107 --> 00:21:09.478
  • The elect.
  • 00:21:09.478 --> 00:21:10.846
  • God only loves the elect.
  • 00:21:10.846 --> 00:21:12.814
  • They believe in something called limited atonement, which means
  • 00:21:12.814 --> 00:21:16.418
  • Jesus died only for the elect, and who are the elect?
  • 00:21:16.418 --> 00:21:19.821
  • These are the people that were chosen before they were even
  • 00:21:19.821 --> 00:21:22.691
  • Born, and some even believe in what you would call double
  • 00:21:22.691 --> 00:21:25.460
  • Predestination, which means god not only chooses some people to
  • 00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:29.097
  • Go to heaven, he also chooses others to go to hell.
  • 00:21:29.097 --> 00:21:32.401
  • I reject this view completely.
  • 00:21:32.401 --> 00:21:35.203
  • I reject it completely.
  • 00:21:35.203 --> 00:21:36.638
  • There's no limited atonement.
  • 00:21:39.875 --> 00:21:41.510
  • The blood of jesus was shed for all people and anyone
  • 00:21:41.510 --> 00:21:46.048
  • Can believe.
  • 00:21:46.048 --> 00:21:47.382
  • "for god so love the world he gave his only begotten son."
  • 00:21:47.382 --> 00:21:50.786
  • I love the words of the great evangelist d.l. moody,
  • 00:21:50.786 --> 00:21:54.189
  • Who once said, "lord, save the elect and then elect
  • 00:21:54.189 --> 00:21:57.726
  • Some more," right?
  • 00:21:57.726 --> 00:21:59.061
  • Now, that's--god's love is for everybody, and it's universal.
  • 00:21:59.061 --> 00:22:03.732
  • He loves all people.
  • 00:22:03.732 --> 00:22:05.100
  • The bible says,"whosoever will call upon the name of the lord
  • 00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:08.870
  • Will be saved."
  • 00:22:08.870 --> 00:22:10.205
  • Jesus said, "he that would come to me,
  • 00:22:10.205 --> 00:22:12.307
  • I would in no way cast out."
  • 00:22:12.307 --> 00:22:14.643
  • And god's gift of salvation is available
  • 00:22:14.643 --> 00:22:17.379
  • For everyone who believes,
  • 00:22:17.379 --> 00:22:19.815
  • Everyone who believes.
  • 00:22:19.815 --> 00:22:21.817
  • "whosoever believes in him should not
  • 00:22:21.817 --> 00:22:24.219
  • Perish but have everlasting life."
  • 00:22:24.219 --> 00:22:26.621
  • What a beautiful message.
  • 00:22:26.621 --> 00:22:28.323
  • God loves me, god will forgive me, god will change me from the
  • 00:22:28.323 --> 00:22:33.495
  • Inside out.
  • 00:22:33.495 --> 00:22:34.830
  • Why would anyone reject this message?
  • 00:22:34.830 --> 00:22:37.899
  • Some would say, well, you know, they reject it because there's
  • 00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:40.969
  • Too many hypocrites in the church.
  • 00:22:40.969 --> 00:22:42.804
  • Give me a break.
  • 00:22:42.804 --> 00:22:44.373
  • Can you imagine the apostles saying, hey, judas was a
  • 00:22:44.373 --> 00:22:47.876
  • Hypocrite, i'm walking away from jesus.
  • 00:22:47.876 --> 00:22:51.046
  • It'd be like, hey, jesus didn't let us down, judas did.
  • 00:22:51.046 --> 00:22:54.816
  • Just because people fall short it's not a reflection on christ
  • 00:22:54.816 --> 00:22:58.854
  • Himself, though i'm sorry it happens, but here's the thing,
  • 00:22:58.854 --> 00:23:02.891
  • People don't say no to jesus because there's too many
  • 00:23:02.891 --> 00:23:06.228
  • Hypocrites in the church, nor do people say no to jesus because
  • 00:23:06.228 --> 00:23:10.132
  • Of the problem of human suffering.
  • 00:23:10.132 --> 00:23:12.768
  • Well, the reason i'm not a christian is i just deal with
  • 00:23:12.768 --> 00:23:15.237
  • Human suffering and i can't wrap my mind around the idea that a
  • 00:23:15.237 --> 00:23:18.907
  • Loving god would allow so much tragedy in the world.
  • 00:23:18.907 --> 00:23:21.643
  • That's a real issue, it's something to think about, but
  • 00:23:21.643 --> 00:23:24.413
  • That's not why you are not a christian.
  • 00:23:24.413 --> 00:23:27.449
  • You wanna know why a person is not a christian?
  • 00:23:27.449 --> 00:23:30.786
  • Jesus gives us the answer right here in john 3, verse 19.
  • 00:23:30.786 --> 00:23:35.056
  • "this is a condemnation, that the light has come into the
  • 00:23:35.056 --> 00:23:37.993
  • World, and men love darkness rather than light, because their
  • 00:23:37.993 --> 00:23:43.031
  • Deeds are evil."
  • 00:23:43.031 --> 00:23:44.366
  • Listen, "everyone practicing evil hates the light and does
  • 00:23:44.366 --> 00:23:48.804
  • Not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed.
  • 00:23:48.804 --> 00:23:52.374
  • But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may
  • 00:23:52.374 --> 00:23:56.011
  • Be clearly seen if they have been done in god."
  • 00:23:56.011 --> 00:23:58.547
  • So, why do people really not believe?
  • 00:23:58.547 --> 00:24:01.683
  • "everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to
  • 00:24:01.683 --> 00:24:05.754
  • The light."
  • 00:24:05.754 --> 00:24:07.122
  • So, really it's not an intellectual issue, it's a
  • 00:24:07.122 --> 00:24:10.659
  • Spiritual and moral issue.
  • 00:24:10.659 --> 00:24:12.694
  • We don't wanna change because the powerful light of jesus
  • 00:24:12.694 --> 00:24:17.466
  • Christ shines into our life and it exposes things that we don't
  • 00:24:17.466 --> 00:24:22.404
  • Want exposed.
  • 00:24:22.404 --> 00:24:24.005
  • And so, that's why we don't come to the light.
  • 00:24:24.005 --> 00:24:27.275
  • That's why we say no to jesus.
  • 00:24:27.275 --> 00:24:29.611
  • This is an either-or proposition.
  • 00:24:29.611 --> 00:24:31.847
  • You accept it and you reject it, and it's for every person.
  • 00:24:31.847 --> 00:24:36.184
  • In fact, your name is here in the text, really?
  • 00:24:36.184 --> 00:24:39.454
  • Oh, yeah, your name's right there.
  • 00:24:39.454 --> 00:24:41.456
  • "whosoever believes in him should not perish but have
  • 00:24:41.456 --> 00:24:45.193
  • Everlasting life."
  • 00:24:45.193 --> 00:24:46.528
  • That's you, whosoever.
  • 00:24:46.528 --> 00:24:49.064
  • If you will believe, you will be forgiven.
  • 00:24:49.064 --> 00:24:51.933
  • There are other whosoevers in the bible.
  • 00:24:51.933 --> 00:24:55.437
  • Revelation 20:15 says, "whoever was not found written in the
  • 00:24:55.437 --> 00:24:59.140
  • Book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
  • 00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:02.677
  • Listen, if you're included in the whosoever of john 3:16, you
  • 00:25:02.677 --> 00:25:07.015
  • Won't be included in the whosoever of revelation 20:15.
  • 00:25:07.015 --> 00:25:11.620
  • Greg: hi, my name is greg laurie.
  • 00:25:15.423 --> 00:25:17.259
  • I started searching for god at a very young age, and my search
  • 00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:21.930
  • Led me into a lot of wrong directions including drug use
  • 00:25:21.930 --> 00:25:25.867
  • That i almost destroyed my life completely.
  • 00:25:25.867 --> 00:25:28.670
  • But someone told me about jesus christ and it changed
  • 00:25:28.670 --> 00:25:32.841
  • My life forever.
  • 00:25:32.841 --> 00:25:34.309
  • And i want you to know that whatever course your life is on
  • 00:25:34.309 --> 00:25:37.178
  • Right now, it can change if you realize there's a god in heaven
  • 00:25:37.178 --> 00:25:40.882
  • Who loves you and he has a plan for your life.
  • 00:25:40.882 --> 00:25:44.920
  • I prayed this prayer to ask jesus into my life
  • 00:25:44.986 --> 00:25:47.789
  • At the age of 17, but here i am at the age of 70,
  • 00:25:47.789 --> 00:25:51.726
  • And i can tell you i made the best choice i ever could make.
  • 00:25:51.726 --> 00:25:55.196
  • You can make that same choice yourself.
  • 00:25:55.196 --> 00:25:57.465
  • You could just say, "jesus help me.
  • 00:25:57.465 --> 00:25:59.668
  • Forgive me of my sin.
  • 00:25:59.668 --> 00:26:01.303
  • I wanna go to heaven when i die.
  • 00:26:01.303 --> 00:26:03.204
  • I want a relationship with you."
  • 00:26:03.204 --> 00:26:06.041
  • If you would pray a prayer like that, god will hear you
  • 00:26:06.041 --> 00:26:08.643
  • And answer you.
