  2. 1. Nicodemus’ Unblemished Résumé • Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; (John 3:1)

  3. 2. Nicodemus’ Unspoken Request (v. 2-3) • 1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” (John 3:1-2) • Jesus said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

  4. Regeneration • 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. (Ephesians 2:1-3)

  5. Regeneration • 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:4-7)

  6. Regeneration • Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. (2 Corinthians 5:17) • “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” (John 5:24)

  7. Regeneration • “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3)

  8. Regeneration • Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” (John 3:4)

  9. 3. Jesus’ Shocking Answer • Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)

  10. 3. Jesus’ Shocking Answer • 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. (Ephesians 5:25-27)

  11. 3. Jesus’ Shocking Answer • 5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior… (Titus 3:5-6)

  12. 3. Jesus’ Shocking Answer • “For I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring and My blessing on your descendants…” (Isaiah 44:3)

  13. 3. Jesus’ Shocking Answer • 25 “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.” (Ezekiel 36:25-27)

  14. 3. Jesus’ Shocking Answer • 6 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:6)

  15. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 7 “Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?” (John 3:7-10)

  16. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you… (1 Peter 1:3-4)

  17. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13)

  18. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights… 18 In the exercise of His will He gave us new birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. (James 1:17-18)

  19. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)

  20. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 9 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you [plural] do not accept our testimony. (John 3:9-11)

  21. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 12 If I told you [plural] of earthly things and you do not believe, how will you [plural] believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.” (John 3:12-13)

  22. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 14 “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.” (John 3:14-15)

  23. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • 8 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.” 9 And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived. (Numbers 21:8-9)

  24. 4. Jesus’ Surprising Analogies • Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.
