H ; story of the coming of I icodemus to ‘Jesus by night is-on¢ of the most dramatic in the New |! ’estament, and in the entire record; of religious experience. It is sug estive and significant as well, for de jails and implications in the

story | ire simple. Why did Nicodemus come by night? Various explanations have

‘been ¢ fered, and perhaps the one

least i 'orthy of acceptance is ‘hat which reflects upon the courage and ‘siacerity of this “Ruler of the Jews.” That Nicodemus came by night jecause ‘he was' in any sense too c¢ wardly or fearful to come openly by day, does not seem in any w.y justified by the facts. If Nicod¢ nus had been that kind of man, 1 1anifestly he would not have come : t all. It i¢ probable that he made his visit & night because he came as an in uirer and, perhaps, wanted to tal . wtih Jesus when He was alone, Eve; thing in the circumstances would lead us to commend Nico-

demus for his coming rather than | to crificize him for his coming by i

night. i ” 2 I§ | acknowledgment of his favavorable impressions of Jesus are giatly to his credit. He was open-i iinded. He saw certain things that ii pressed him with the quality of Je us as a religious teacher. These things he could understand only ci the assumption that God was w th him. "At tie same time, he was allied in an fficial way with the religious life of his time. He was a devout and siicere believer in the teaching of the. Jewish scriptures. He wished to know what relationship the te ching of this new and remarka le man, Jesus of Nazareth, had t¢ the religion that he already follows 1. Jesu. evidently understood both the at itude of Nicodemus and the questic aings that were in his mind, for Hi first words were very challengin:. They served at once to draw I icodemus into a discussion of the me it, vital things. “Verily, verily, I say into thee,” said Jesus. “Except ©ie be born anew, he can not see th¢ Kingdom of God.” Nico lemus was puzzled, more puzzle: than would have been expected of one who had his years of experit nce, and who had the game backgr und of knowledge of the Old Testan ent that Jesus Himself possessed. Nicodemus understood the words | literally, but Jesus made it plain { 1at He was speaking of spiritual ft lings.

reality. One feels its sweep and power, and like the coming of the Sing, is this experience of the new ife. Nicodemus still was not satisfied, and he |asked, “How can these things be?” Then Jesus Himself expressed His amazement that one who had been so long a teacher of Israel should not have better and more infinite understanding. He proceeded to interpret this spiritual truth of God’s love and its power to bring to men the new birth.

ArPaseNTLY what Nicodemus had failed to discover was the reality of the grace: of God. He did not see how salvation is a great bestowal of God’s grace upon the man whose heart is open to receive it. A good man may. be very austere and self-righteous, but he may not have learned to say “God be merciful to me, a sinner.” The man who learns to say that is. no less moral and righteous, but he has found the way to new life, love and power.
