(Repost) The dialogue between Christ and Rabbi Nicodemus, John 3:1-21, as portrayed by the film, The life of Jesus.
This is the video. Enjoy it my brothers and sisters in Christ!
Hopefully now you guys can actually watch the talk between Nicodemus and Jesus. Very important dialogue here!
If for some reason the video never loaded, here is the actual reading from the Gospel of John:
Nicodemus Goes To Visit Jesus.1 There was a man from the Pharisees named Nicodemus,[a] a member of the Jewish ruling council,2 who came to Jesus at night. “Rabbi,” he said, “we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one would be able to perform the signs that you do unless God were with him.”3 Jesus replied,
“Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God[b] without being born from above.”
4 Nicodemus asked, “How can a man be born again once he is old? Is it possible for him to enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”5 Jesus said,
“Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.[c] 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 “You should not be astonished when I say, ‘You must be born from above.’ 8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 “How is this possible?” asked Nicodemus.10 Jesus responded, “You are a teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
11 “Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you do not accept our testimony. 12 If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe when I speak to you about heavenly things?
13 “No one has gone up to heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,[e] 15 in order that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may attain eternal life. 17 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe in him already stands condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. 19 “And the judgment is this: the light has come into the world, but people preferred darkness to light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids coming near the light so that his misdeeds may not be exposed. 21 However, whoever lives by the truth comes to the light so that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God.”
It works! Amen as well, Children of God and of Light are the ones that will ultimately enter the Kingdom of God, the unrepentant have chosen their fate.
