Jesus didn't need anyone to tell him what would happen when he was fully revealed. It wasn't time yet, so he didn't go "all out" on the miracles and showing he was messiah.
Nicodemus is hearing about these deep things that speak to prophetic promises from long ago. But just as with most things in Jesus' life, these things are working out different than what Nicodemus is expecting.

NOTE: in v7, the first "you" is singular, Jesus is talking to Nicodemus. But the SECOND "you" is plural, meaning ALL/ANY must be born again. That is, any who would desire to "see the kingdom of God", or receive salvation.
JESUS IS LIFTED UP. THAT ALL WHO LOOK ON HIM WOULD HAVE SALVATION (just like in Numbers with the snake on the bronze pole.)

JESUS IS LIFTED UP ON THE CROSS.
JESUS IS THEN LIFTED UP AND EXALTED ON THE THRONE.
JESUS SAVES.

Condemnation comes through rejecting Him, not by His rejection of us.

COMMUNION

We believe in an open communion, and would like to invite anyone who has professed faith in Jesus to participate with us this morning.

Communion elements will be made available at the close of service at the front of the room, please wait to come forward until we have prayed.

The bread represents the body of Christ.
The juice/cup represents the blood of Christ.
COMMUNION: REMEMBERING WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR US ON THE CROSS, AND EXPERIENCING HIS PRESENCE TODAY.

BAPTISM

Are you ready to be baptized? In the Bible, when people come to faith in Christ, and they ask "what do I do now?" the answer is consistently baptism. In baptism, we identify with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection as we lay down our lives in the water, and come to new life in Christ. If you believe Jesus is Lord and are ready to make that declaration in your life, sign up and we would love to baptize you.
