N is for Nicodemus- Rev. Wendy McCormick- July 14,2024

 John 3:1-10, 7:45-52, 19:38-42 n the words of Dr Anna Carter Florence: “Tradition has been kind to Nicodemus. He’s held up as an example of faith and a model of generosity; the Pharisee who eventually came around. But to be frank, it took a while. Which is exactly what John wants us to notice in Nicodemus’ story. Those of us with a lot to lose seem to take longer to come around. It’s not that we don’t hear Jesus’ call to discipleship. We just take our time acting on it, which has cost and consequence for those around us.”
