Fellow Labourers-
I am going to guess that each of us at some time in our lives has been called something we did not like. How did you respond? The story of Nicodemus has most times been preached as if the man did something wrong. But, he came by night to sort out his life. He came at a time when he could be alone to deal with his innermost questions and conflicts. He I believe must have learned what it is like to be alone with Jesus.
My prayer for us today is to learn to take criticism in stride and deal with it. Let us not react impulsively, but if we have be called Nicodemus so be it. Which would you prefer, to be called a Pharisee or Nicodemus? Nicodemus according to the Smith's Bible Dictionary means innocent of blood. But, by practice he was a Pharisee. Who are you today? Remember you are not who they say you are, and you are a work in progress.
Pax Vobiscum
