S3: E3: Light is Better Than Darkness

In this episode, Pastor Rhonda and Pastor Seth discuss the narrative lectionary passage of John 3:1-21. This is the story of Nicodemus coming to Jesus, trying to discover what Jesus has up His sleeve. Jesus lays it all out for Nicodemus, a leader of the Pharisees, but Nicodemus does not understand. He is looking for Jesus to come in a certain way and to come into power, and wants to make sure that he is on the inside when that happens. Jesus says there is no inside! He came for all. We imagine this would have been hard to hear as a good, obedient Jew. Jesus does not back away though and beckons all to come to a deeper life of following Him. Living in the light instead of darkness and shame. Some will choose the light, others will not. The option is there for us though. Shall we look to the cross or not? We hope you choose the cross. Thanks so much for listening in and know that you are loved and prayed for!
