You Must Be Born of the Water and the Spirit. By Mike Willis John’s account of the gospel of Christ relates the conversation that occurred between Nicodemus and Jesus. Nicodemus is described as a Pharisee who was a ruler of the Jews. The Pharisees was the sect among the Jews who were most concerned about personal holiness. However, the sect tended toward self-righteousness and arrogance. Jesus’ depiction of the Pharisee who prayed in the Temple surely called attention to widespread attitudes among them: “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess” (Luke 18:11-12). He also warned his disciples to avoid the hypocrisy of the Pharisees (Luke 12:1). Being a ruler of the Pharisees, Nicodemus was a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin (John 7:50). He held a very prominent position among the Jews. Nicodemus had witnessed th...

For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will be no means lose his reward'" (Mark 9:38-41). The apostle John complained to Jesus about a man who was not a part of their immediate company. In other words, he was unknown to them and did not travel with them. The man was casting out demons in the name of Christ, but the apostles forbid him from continuing to do such. Evidently, the man had miraculous power and his use of it stirred up jealousy in John and the other apostles. They likely thought that no one else besides the...
