Scofield's Reference Notes - John 3:3

born again Regeneration: (1) The necessity of the new birth grows out of the incapacity of the natural man to "see" or "enter into" the kingdom of God.

In daily life our thoughts are most occupied with things that are most necessary for our existence.

Immeasurable Love June 7, 1885 by C. H.

How blessed!There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews ( John 3:1 ).We know a few things about him; we know that he must have been very wealthy, for he came with Joseph of Arimathea to embalm the body of Jesus after the crucifixion. And he brought these costly spices, about a hundred pounds, that only a very wealthy person could afford. A ruler of the Jews means that he... read more

John 3:1-2There was a man of the Pharisees named NicodemusNicodemusI.NICODEMUS THE INQUIRER. He was a Pharisee, and therefore all manner of religious obstacles, formalism, etc., stood in his way. He was a ruler, and therefore all manner of social impediments beset him. But his conscience had been awakened. He came in the dark so as not to be noticed. He admits Christ’s Divine teacher-ship. Men now hold miracles in light esteem, but this narrative shows us that they should make a sober man... read more
