Nicodemus - He Lacked One Thing
Duane Bemis
Here we are once again; are you ready to look into the scriptures and let Jesus speak to us again? My heartfelt desire is that you see the truths that are hidden within the words and questions of this very religious man named Nicodemus. Nicodemus' name means "Victorious".

All the people would probably go directly to him for all their religious questions, yet here he is at night wanting to ask Jesus some questions.
Nicodemus gives Jesus the highest title he could in his faith group. Nicodemus called Jesus "Rabbi", which means "master" or "teacher," a title ascribed only to religious teachers of the Jewish faith. But even with all the education that Nicodemus had he saw something in this ordinar ...
