Monday 9th March ~ John 7.37-52 ~ Jean 7.37-52

Jeremiah 11.1-17 ~ Jérémie 11.1-17
Psalm 5 ~ Psaumes 5
Hebrews 4.14-5.1 ~ Hébreux 4.14-5.1


In this section, we have a striking picture of Jesus’ opponents’ rejection of 

him. This is the low point in Jesus’ ministry: most of his disciples have 

abandoned him, and he’s moving about like a marked man. Nicodemus, one 

of the Pharisees and a ruler, and so one of the establishment, is prepared to 

break ranks to point out the Pharisees’ hypocrisy. The Pharisees have argued 

that Jesus cannot be a prophet “because he comes from Galilee”.

Nicodemus knows that, in rabbinic law, a thorough investigation must be 

made before passing judgement (Deuteronomy chapters 17 and 19). Unlike 

his associates, Nicodemus has done so and has found that there is good 

reason to believe that Jesus is what he says he is: the Son of God and the 

Messiah. 

Let us give thanks for those who have the bravery to uphold the truth. And 

pray that we will be given the strength to do the same.
