2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Jesus tell Nicodemus is necessary to see the kingdom of God, and why did God send his Son (vv. 16–17)?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Nicodemus came at night, curious but cautious. Where are you still approaching Jesus cautiously instead of trusting him fully?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • John the Baptist said, 'He must become greater; I must become less.' What will you make smaller in your life this week so that Jesus becomes greater?

4. Who will I tell?

   • John 3:16 may be the best-known sentence in the Bible. Who in your life has never really heard it — and how could you share it with them this week?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
