Before discussing everything found within John 3:16, we pick up with Cass and Tom delving into the soul-soaring interaction between Jesus and a Jewish leader, Nicodemus.
How much should Nicodemus have known about God's kingdom and Jesus' mission? What's all this about the Spirit and being born again? Cass schools us on the origins of baptism. Tom raises his theory about earthly and heavenly things (yeah, it's a good one). We cannot avoid talking about the bronze snake, Moses and what's that got to do with John 3:16.
This limited series explores the build-up to, the rich detail within, and the aftermath of John 3:16.
In conversations with Hope Morning's Ben McEachen, New Testament experts Cass Kwakye (Whitley College, Melbourne) and Tom Habib (Moore Theological College, Sydney) help us to pull together the Old Testament threads and new revelations flowing from Jesus' discussion with Jewish leader Nicodemus.
We hope the John 3:16 podcast will resource your faith with powerful truths about belief in God’s Son that leads to eternal life.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
