Message this Sunday: Jesus meets with Nicodemus and tells him in order to be saved, all people must be born again. John the Baptist tells disciples that Jesus is the Messiah.1- Jesus Explains the plan of Salvation Jn.3:1-21- A man named Nicodemus visits Jesus by night.A- The credentials of Nicodemus(v.1) He is both a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin and Pharisee. Joh 3:1 NOW THERE was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader, an authority) among the Jews, (amp) Jewish Sanhedrin and Pharisee. mean”Sanhedrin Jewish council that operated in Roman Palestine from the time of the Maccabees (с 165 BC) to the end of the patriarchate (AD 425).While the term refers to the supreme Jewish court, the Sanhedrins exact composition and powers religious, judicial, and legislative are reported variously in different sources. It is mentioned in various books of the Bible (Mark, Luke, Acts) as having taken part in or adjudicated the trials of Jesus, St. Peter the Apostle, and St. John the Baptist. According to Talmudic sources, the Great Sanhedrin was a court of 71 sages that met on fixed occasions in the Temple of Jerusalem, acting as a religious legislative body, trial court, and administrator of rituals. B- The confession of Nicodemus (v.2) He acknowledge that Jesus is from God because of his miracles. Joh 3:2 Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles--and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him. (amp) C- The command to Nicodemus (v.3) Jesus says he needs the new birth. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.(amp) D- The confusion of Nicodemus (v.4) He confuses spiritual both with physical birth. 1. If there is confusion about something, it is not clear what the true situation is, especially because people believe different things. “Collins Cobuild English Dictionary” Joh 3:4 Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mothers womb again and be born? E- The chastening of Nicodemus (v.9-13) Jesus chides him for not knowing these things even though he is a respected Jewish teacher. chastening 1. A chastening experience makes you regret that you have behaved badly or stupidly. From this chastening experience he learnt some useful lessons. Joh 3:9 Sumagot si Nicodemo at sa kaniyay sinabi, Paanong pangyayari ng mga bagay na ito? Joh 3:10 Sumagot si Jesus at sa kaniyay sinabi, Ikaw ang guro sa Israel, at hindi mo nauunawa ang mga bagay na ito? Joh 3:11 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, Ang nalalaman namin ay sinasalita namin, at ang aming nakita ay pinatototohanan namin; at hindi ninyo tinanggap ang aming patotoo. Joh 3:12 Kung sinabi ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na nauukol sa lupa at hindi ninyo pinaniniwalaan, paanong paniniwalaan ninyo kung sabihin ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na nauukol sa langit? Joh 3:13 At walang umakyat sa langit, kundi ang nanggaling sa langit, sa makatuwid bagay ang Anak ng tao, na nasa langit. F- The clarification for Nicodemus (v.5-8, 14-15) Jesus employs three illustrations to explain the new birth to Nicodemus. 1- A physical illustration (v.5-7) Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Joh 3:5 Sumagot si Jesus, Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, Maliban na ang taoy ipanganak ng tubig at ng Espiritu, ay hindi siya makapapasok sa kaharian ng Dios. Joh 3:6 Ang ipinanganak ng laman ay laman nga; at ang ipinanganak ng Espiritu ay espiritu nga. Joh 3:7 Huwag kang magtaka sa aking sinabi sa iyo, Kinakailangan ngang kayoy ipanganak na muli. 2- A natural illustration (v. Just as you don’t know where the wind comes from or where is going, so it is impossible to explain being born of the Spirit. Joh 3:8 Humihihip ang hangin kung saan niya ibig, at naririnig mo ang kaniyang ugong, ngunit hindi mo nalalaman kung saan nanggagaling, at kung saan naparoroon: gayon ang bawat ipinanganak ng Espiritu. 3- A scriptural illustration (v.14-15) As Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so must the Son of men be lifted up. Joh 3:14 At kung paanong itinaas ni Moises sa ilang ang ahas, ay gayon kinakailangang itaas ang Anak ng tao; Joh 3:15 Upang ang sinomang sumampalataya ay magkaroon sa kaniya ng buhay na walang hanggan. Joh 3:14 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,Joh 12:32 At ako, kung akoy mataas na mula sa lupa, ang lahat ng mga tao ay palalapitin ko sa akin din. Joh 12:33 Datapuwat itoy sinabi niya, na ipinaaalam kung sa anong kamatayan ang ikamamatay niya. Joh 8:28 Sinabi nga ni Jesus, Kung maitaas na ninyo ang Anak ng tao, saka ninyo makikilala na ako nga ang Cristo, at wala akong ginagawa sa aking sarili, kundi sinalita ko ang mga bagay na ito, ayon sa itinuro sa akin ng Ama. Lifted up - Erected on a pole. Placed on high, So that it might be seen by the people. The serpent - The image of a serpent made of brass. In the wilderness - Near the land of Edom. In the desert and desolate country to the south of Mount Hor, Num_21:4. Even so - In a similar manner and with a similar design. He here refers, doubtless, to his own death. Compare Joh_12:32; Joh_8:28. The points of resemblance between his being lifted up and that of the brass serpent seem to be these: 1. In each case those who are to be benefited can he aided in no other way. The bite of the serpent was deadly, and could be healed only by looking on the brass serpent; and sin is deadly in its nature, and can be removed only by looking on the cross. 2. The mode of their being lifted up. The brass serpent was in the sight of the people. So Jesus was exalted from the earth raised on a tree or cross. 3. The design was similar. The one was to save the life, the other the soul; the one to save from temporal, the other from eternal death. 4. The manner of the cure was similar. The people of Israel were to look on the serpent and be healed, and so sinners are to look on the Lord Jesus that they may be saved. Must - It is proper; necessary; indispensable, if men are saved. Compare Luk_24:26; Luk_22:42. The Son of man - The Messiah. G- The conclusion for Nicodemus (v.16-21) Jesus now summarizes both the subjects of salvation and condemnation! Joh 3:16 Sapagkat gayon na lamang ang pagsinta ng Dios sa sanglibutan, na ibinigay niya ang kaniyang bugtong na Anak, upang ang sinomang sa kaniyay sumampalataya ay huwag mapahamak, kundi magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. Joh 3:17 Sapagkat hindi sinugo ng Dios ang Anak sa sanglibutan upang hatulan ang sanglibutan; kundi upang ang sanglibutan ay maligtas sa pamamagitan niya. (tab) Joh 3:18 Ang sumasampalataya sa kaniya ay hindi hinahatulan; ang hindi sumasampalataya ay hinatulan na, sapagkat hindi siya sumampalataya sa pangalan ng bugtong na Anak ng Dios. Joh 3:19 At ito ang kahatulan, na naparito ang ilaw sa sanglibutan, at inibig pa ng mga tao ang kadiliman kay sa ilaw; sapagkat masasama ang kanilang mga gawa. Joh 3:20 Sapagkat ang bawat isa na gumagawa ng masama ay napopoot sa ilaw, at hindi lumalapit sa ilaw, upang huwag masaway ang kaniyang mga gawa. Joh 3:21 Datapuwat ang gumagawa ng katotohanan ay lumalapit sa ilaw, upang mahayag na ang kaniyang mga gawa ay ginawa sa Dios. (tab) 1- The persons (v.16) Joh 3:16 This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. A- The Father gave his Son (v.16a) This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. (msg) B- The Son will give his life (v.16b) And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. (msg) 2- The purpose (v.17) Joh 3:17 Sapagkat hindi sinugo ng Dios ang Anak sa sanglibutan upang hatulan ang sanglibutan; kundi upang ang sanglibutan ay maligtas sa pamamagitan niya. (tab) A- It is not to condemn sinners (v.17a) God didnt go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. (msg) B- It is to convert sinners (v.17b) He came to help, to put the world right again. (msg) 3- The people (v.18-21) Joh 3:18 Ang sumasampalataya sa kaniya ay hindi hinahatulan; ang hindi sumasampalataya ay hinatulan na, sapagkat hindi siya sumampalataya sa pangalan ng bugtong na Anak ng Dios. Joh 3:19 At ito ang kahatulan, na naparito ang ilaw sa sanglibutan, at inibig pa ng mga tao ang kadiliman kay sa ilaw; sapagkat masasama ang kanilang mga gawa. Joh 3:20 Sapagkat ang bawat isa na gumagawa ng masama ay napopoot sa ilaw, at hindi lumalapit sa ilaw, upang huwag masaway ang kaniyang mga gawa. Joh 3:21 Datapuwat ang gumagawa ng katotohanan ay lumalapit sa ilaw, upang mahayag na ang kaniyang mga gawa ay ginawa sa Dios. (tab) A- Condemnation for those who reject Christ (v.18b-20) v.8b he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. (asv) B- Salvation for those who receive Christ (v.18a-21) v.8a He that believeth on him is not judged, Joh 3:21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God. (asv) 11- John Exalts the Person of Salvation (v.22-36) A- The argument (v.22-27) A debate occurs among John’s disciples concerning which baptism is valid- those performed by John or Jesus. Joh 3:22 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay nagsiparoon si Jesus at ang kaniyang mga alagad sa lupain ng Judea; at doon siya tumira na kasama nila, at bumabautismo. Joh 3:23 At bumabautismo rin naman si Juan sa Enon na malapit sa Salim, sapagkat dooy maraming tubig: at silay nagsiparoon, at nangabautismuhan. Joh 3:24 Sapagkat hindi pa ipinapasok sa bilangguan si Juan. Joh 3:25 Nagkaroon nga ng isang pakikipagtalo ang mga alagad ni Juan sa isang Judio tungkol sa paglilinis. Joh 3:26 At silay nagparoon kay Juan, at sa kaniyay sinabi, Rabi, yaong kasama mo sa dako pa roon ng Jordan, na binigyan mong patotoo, narito, siyay bumabautismo, at ang lahat ng mga taoy nagsisiparoon sa kaniya. Joh 3:27 Sumagot si Juan at sinabi, Hindi makatatanggap ng anoman ang isang tao, malibang itoy ipinagkaloob sa kaniya mula sa langit. B- The affirmation “confirmation” (27-36) John once again gives testimony concerning the greatness of Jesus. “Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary” affirmation PRONUNCIATION: 15th century 1 a : the act of affirming b : something affirmed : a positive assertion 2 : a solemn declaration made under the penalties of perjury by a person who conscientiously declines taking an oath. 1- Jesus is the bridegroom, while John is but a friend of the bridegroom (v.27-29) Joh 3:27 Sumagot si Juan at sinabi, Hindi makatatanggap ng anoman ang isang tao, malibang itoy ipinagkaloob sa kaniya mula sa langit. Joh 3:28 Kayo man ay magsisisaksi sa akin, na aking sinabi, Hindi ako ang Cristo, kundi, na akoy sinugo sa unahan niya. Joh 3:29 Ang nagtatangkilik sa kasintahang babae ay ang kasintahang lalake: datapuwat ang kaibigan ng kasintahang lalake, na nakatayo at nakikinig sa kaniya, ay nagagalak na lubos dahil sa tinig ng kasintahang lalake: ito ngang aking kaligayahan ay naganap. (tab) 2- Jesus must become greater and greater, while John must become less and less (v.30-36) Joh 3:30 Siyay kinakailangang dumakila, ngunit akoy kinakailangang bumaba. Joh 3:31 Ang nanggagaling sa itaas ay sumasaibabaw ng lahat: ang galing sa lupa ay taga lupa nga, at ang ukol sa lupa ang sinasalita niya: ang nanggagaling sa langit ay sumasaibabaw ng lahat. Joh 3:32 At kaniyang nakita at narinig, ay siyang pinatototohanan niya; at walang taong tumatanggap ng kaniyang patotoo. Joh 3:33 Ang tumatanggap ng kaniyang patotoo ay naglagay dito ng kaniyang tatak, na ang Dios ay totoo. Joh 3:34 Sapagkat ang sinugo ng Dios ay nagsasalita ng mga salita ng Dios: sapagkat hindi niya ibinibigay ang Espiritu sa pamamagitan ng sukat. Joh 3:35 Sinisinta ng Ama ang Anak, at inilagay sa kaniyang kamay ang lahat ng mga bagay. Joh 3:36 Ang sumasampalataya sa Anak ay may buhay na walang hanggan; ngunit ang hindi tumatalima sa Anak ay hindi makakakita ng buhay, kundi ang poot ng Dios ay sumasa kaniya.
