Chosen: Ephesians 1:21

Chosen: Ephesians 1:21 by ric gustafson


Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was a group of political and religious rule makers. They worked on statues, Sabbath observances, purity and tithing laws. They had the power to change a law whenever they wanted. 
Nicodemus's life changed when he met Jesus. To Nicodemus, Jesus did not stand out or look important. Jesus gave compassion and grace. Jesus cast out demons and performed miracles. Deep down, Nicodemus knew Jesus was sent by God. He knew he would have to give up everything to believe in Jesus. He would have to give up position, power and his livlihood.  Nicodemus believed in Jesus. He was willing to take that risk to follow him. Are we ready to take that risk?.
