John 3:10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this?
We all too often get down on Nicodemus, but remember he at least came to talk with Jesus and find out what he didn’t understand. How many of us can even do what he did? Are we willing to come and ask and listen in order to understand, or do we assume that we know it well enough? And in fact don’t we even think we know it better than everybody else and we are willing to argue with them to prove it? Maybe Nicodemus has a bit of humility here that we could learn from.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to not think that I know it all, but rather to seek you and your word to better understand your grace.
Amen
