Nicodemus Came to confront Jesus We all must Can’t go along with the crowd (Exodus 23:2)

Nicodemus Cannot dismiss him Some think so (John 20:30, 31; Romans 1:4) Salvation in no other name (Acts 4:12)

Mind To Mind Blend ours with His Not on a physical level Spiritual (Philippians 2:5-9)

Mind To Mind Reproved by Jesus He was a teacher (John 3:10) Woman at the well (John 4:10-15) The multitude (John 6:26, 27, 48, 66-69)

Friend To Friend Moses and God Unique relationship (Exodus 33:11) Jesus is our best friend “Jesus Is All The World To Me” “Where Could I go But To The Lord?”

Friend To Friend A special friend “Sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24) Gave His life (John 15:13) Stands by us (2 Timothy 4:16-18) There for us (Philippians 4:13; Hebrews 4:14-16; 9:24)

Friend To Friend He is our friend Are we His friend? (John 14:15) Are we an enemy? (James 4:4) “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”

Heart To Heart Heart to heart meeting with Jesus Intellectual level alone not enough (Matthew 22:37, 38) Both mind and heart (John 2:25)

Heart To Heart Acknowledge emotions Woman’s tears (Luke 7:36, 38) Not emotionalism Some lost their joy (Psalm 51:12; Acts 8:37)

Heart To Heart Obedience produces emotions Our choice (Romans 6:16-18) Shame over sin (Jeremiah 6:15) Compassion and sympathy for others (Luke 10:25-37; John 11:35)

Face To Face Nicodemus saw Him Others after His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-8) Are we at a disadvantage? (John 20:26-29)

Face To Face One day we shall see Him As He is (1 John 3:1, 2) Every knee shall bow (Romans 14:10-12; Philippians 2:10, 11) Understanding who He is should be enough (John 18:6)

Face To Face All things are open before Him Knows all and sees all (Hebrews 4:12,1 3) Do you “see” Him now by faith? Or, will you weep when you see Him? (Luke 22:61, 62)

Conclusion Have you confronted Jesus? Are you ready to see Him face to face?
