THE SON BRINGS ETERNAL LIFE

JOHN 3

Jesus came to earth so that those who believe in Him would escape condemnation and have eternal life.

John began his Gospel helping his readers understand that Jesus is God and pre-existed at creation and was active in creation. He continued with John the Baptist and his pointing to Jesus as the Lamb of God. He then moved to the beginning of Jesus' ministry as He gathered disciples. In Chapter 2, Jesus turned water into wine and began to show people how He is able to transform things in His power for His glory. His zeal for the Lord is unmatched. Chapter 3, then, begins with one of the Pharisees, Nicodemus, approaching Jesus at night. Nicodemus wanted to talk with Jesus about the signs Jesus was doing.

Points to consider:

   The Son came so that people might 
     experience new birth.
     * How should a biblical understanding 
        of regeneration inform our evangelism?

✞   The Son came so that people might 
     have eternal life.
     * What is the present reality and future 
        expectation for one who doesn't believe 
        in Jesus?

✞   The Son came so that people might 
     escape condemnation.  
     * Why should we not brush aside sins, 
        even "small" ones? 
     * Why is sin so tempting and desirable 
        at times?
