For Now The Choice Is Ours
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him."
John 3:1-2 (ESV)
Nicodemus became the focus of a successful journey of the mind. But, most importantly, he sought the truth. He may have come at night, might have had many uncertainties and concerns with what the crowd might have thought, yet, he found a way to ask the right question to the right person before his time ran out.
Secondly, Nicodemus was convinced of some things while confused about others. He was a thinker, not a feeler. He wanted answers, and instead of going to the pundits, he went to the source.
Thirdly, Nicodemus allowed Jesus to answer his questions. If we want the truth, it is there for the taking. Alternatively, we could argue our points, draw our line in the sand, and end up being fools in the end. For now, the choice is ours.
