Pastor James continues our Advent Series - Encounters with Jesus through the Gospel of John. Together we look to John 3:1-15.

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."" - John 8:12

“I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” - John 12:46

"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules." - Ezekiel 36:25-27

“A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as desperately in need of salvation as a miserable world - and might even be more difficult to save… God became man to turn creatures into sons; not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.” - C.S. Lewis

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION:
What might be the signs, however subtle, that I am just like Nicodemus? How am I pursuing a better life in place of a new life?

What signs can I see in myself of real, new, spiritual, born-again life?

What is one way that I can live a more fully God-centered life this Christmas?
