1.7 God is Relationship: Son
Read John 3:1-21. Imagine yourself having a conversation like Nicodemus did. What questions would you ask Him? Which ones would He brush aside and which ones would He answer different from what you expected? Post the questions and answers you think might take place in that conversation.

Nicodemus went to Jesus at night . So no one can see him ? I'm thinking he came to Jesus after work or he came so no one can see him in the dark. How can someone be born when they are old. Nicodemus, ask Jesus in his because he wants to know more about Jesus. God wants to manifest himself to Nicodemus.
Jesus wants to extend his love and compassion to all mankind.
I want to prayerfully grow in Christ and. Meditating the sermon on the mount as I walk with Jesus . Praying that me and my household will experience the deeper relationship with Jesus.
Draw us closer Lord Jesus and help us to be stronger/ deeper to you and not just knowledge but relationship in heart.

Imagine i have a chance to ask Jesus one question, definitely, it won’t be about Politics, i will rather focus on Spiritual matters only.
Because, I try not to get hooked -up in Politics, I discover it’s a trap for Spiritual destruction.
Rather, I want to start my study of Sermon on the mount.

That would be so amazing, I think I would ask similar questions because it’s hard to understand the concept of being born again, because as humans we automatically think a physical birth but it’s a spiritual birth. I would hopefully just trust what Jesus is saying and then move on to another question. Jesus uses lots of metaphors when He speaks and maybe it’s the time they were in and the culture but I don’t think I would fully understand what He is saying unless I broke what He said down and really thought and prayed on it.

I think there would be two general types of questions that I would ask Jesus:
1) I probably would bring specific people and circumstances to His attention–asking for His intervention. I would ask if there were any specific things that I (or someone else) needed to do in order to bring that person closer to Christ (e.g. for those who do not yet know Jesus)–I would want more insight about the specific things (spiritual/mental obstacles) that prevent people from receiving His revelation. In particular, I would be curious about asking Him about how He might be working in the lives of people who have never had the chance to hear His name (e.g. unreached people groups).
2) I would ask some questions that begin with “How” and “Why?” — just because I am a curious person and I know He would have the answer to these questions.
I have the feeling that if I asked Jesus all of these questions, He would listen patiently and then, at the end, He would sidestep most of my “how” and “why” questions and focus on the issues that are the biggest priority for Him. He would be Lord of the conversation–many of my questions would be left unanswered [with the unsaid answer of ‘Just trust Me, and you will see’ OR ‘Now is not the right time for you to know these things…they are mysteries that I will disclose when I am ready]. The primary focus would be on what’s goin on within our hearts and His command that we need to love God and love one another as Christ has also loved us.
