I’ve always thought it was because Nicodemus did not want to be seen with that group.
Anyway, wonder how He puts us in the exact time and place we are supposed to be to accomplish His purposes.
Have you ever wished you could have been born when Jesus was on earth and gotten to be a disciple? Fascinating to think about.
That would have been a fascinating story. Probably would end up a martyr. Gladly, whether we are 1st century or 21st century or “however long until the earthly plan is wrapped up” believers, we go to the same heaven. And what a heaven that will be. Too good for us even to conceive in terms of what our mortal eyes or ears can see or hear. Because it is God’s home.
This whole sad mortal coil situation is because of men’s souls’ rebellion against God (deserting Him for Satan). Gladly, there is a salvation plan. It’s impossible to say too much good about God. Any of us and we’d be like, send that whole pack to hell, why should I let them give me a headache, let alone put me on a cross?
How much stronger/ better is your faith since you were not required to see the miracles.
