March 24, 2021: Rejoice in Receiving the Remedy of God

Nicodemus believed that the signs that Jesus had performed showed that Jesus had come from  God (cf. John 3:2). In the incarnation of Jesus, the only Son of God, God provides the remedy for our wounds of sin and death. The great sign that He will show is the offering of Himself being "lifted up" in His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension (cf. John 3:14-16). After Nicodemus sees Jesus lifted up in His crucifixion, he responds in love, living according to the truth (cf. John 19:38-42; John 3:21a)). Nicodemus put his faith to work. It was "clearly seen as done in God" (John 3:21b).
