Jesus went right to the heart of the matter with this statement \u201cExcept a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God\u201d. The new birth message was way over Nicodemus\u2019s head. He said, \u201cHow can these things be?\u201d Jesus then gives him a sign to look for that would help him understand the mission of Christ. John 3:14-15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. As the ministry of Christ became more widespread, the disciples of John the Baptist became envious. John explains to them that Jesus is the Son of God, that he came from above and is greater than all, and that John must decrease but Christ must increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1428,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gospel-of-john","category-wednesday-evening-service"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2389"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2405,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389\/revisions\/2405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcmuncie.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
