In John 3:1-21 some see Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus as an example of how easy it is to believe in Christ but not unlike today Jesus was really challenging everything this man stood for.
Nicodemus was one of Israel’s elite teachers; a Pharisee & member of the Sanhedrin the powerful Jewish counsel who were fanatically religious on the outside but selfish and conceited on the inside. They fastidiously adhered to nearly 600 laws many of which were their own invention.
Knowing Israel had not had a prophet for 400 years Nicodemus was intrigued by Jesus miracles believing He must be from God so Nicodemus goes to talk with Jesus @ night to find out himself what this guy is all about.
I find it so interesting that in between this plethora symbolic language God inserts the way of salvation in its simplest form through a verse we can all quote by heart; John 3:16
