Subject: John 14:26 |
Bible Note: Originally, there were no chapters and no verses in the Scriptures. Jn 3:1-21 is not about physical water; it is continued in Jn 4 and actually Jn 3 is also a continuation of Jn 1; Jn 2:1-11 just as Jn 7:37-39 is about the same Living Water of Jn 4:1-26 and the Water of Life in Rev 21-22; etc. Nicodemus was not ignorant about human birth but he was ignorant about something else and Jesus Christ did not excuse him. What did Nicodemus not know that he should have known as a teacher of Israel? Read Ro 1-8 about that same "flesh" of Jn 3:1-21. How must we go from the Law of Sin and Death to the Law of the Spirit of Life? The answer is very simple and it can be written in a very short paragraph. Those who have held on to Jesus Christ's Teaching will know His Truth and His Truth has set us free, Jn 8. |
