John 3:1-21
Nicodemus came to Jesus with respect, but Jesus said that respect and religious status are not enough. A person must be born from above by the Spirit to enter God’s kingdom. Eternal life comes only through faith in the Son of Man who was lifted up.
John 4:1-42
Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well and turns a request for water into a conversation about eternal life, true worship, and the Messiah. He speaks truthfully about her sin, not to crush her, but to bring her into the light. He reveals that he is the Christ, and many Samaritans come to believe in him.
