Devo: John 3:16-21

16”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his
Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe
stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s
one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men
loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who
does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds
will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it
may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”

Meditation
1. Nicodemus who was a Pharisee, one night he decided to speak to Jesus and
question him. It was through this line of questioning that Nicodemus truly
began to understand the teachings of Jesus and was helped “out of the dark”
and into a new life of “light.”
2. How do I view the time I have spent wandering in darkness, maybe struggling
against new birth?

Personal Note:
The famous John 3:16 verse is taken from the context of a Pharisee approaching Jesus at night.  Jesus shared the Gospel with him.  My encouragement is that there are people who are seeking and searching for life, but they are afraid to seek publicly because of social pressure.  I would like to share the light to whomever approaches me.
