Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. – John 3:1 (ESV)
A man who is a Jewish ruler and a Pharisee comes to see Jesus. He is on the ruling council (John 7:45-52) and brings notable items to Jesus’ burial (John 19:38-42). So here is someone who is well respected in the community, someone who spends his life in the service and study of God, and someone who is financially secure.
The point is that he needs Jesus. Is there anyone who has their life so well put together that they don’t need Him?
Who needs Jesus? (1) is found here.
