Nicodemus: A Religious VIP

John 3:1-18
Introduction

We are in the middle of a five-part message series titled: “Encounters with Jesus.” In John 3, we find the record of Jesus in a conversation with a man named Nicodemus. This is one of the most well-known exchanges in the Bible. 
There are a lot of important questions to answer in life. Nothing is more important than knowing that your spiritual life is right. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Someone said it this way: “No Jesus. No hope. Know Jesus. Know hope.”
