The 2012 Quilt and Craft Show at Chatfield College was held Saturday, April 28, and more than 400 people came and went throughout the day enjoying the festivities. This year’s show was dampened only by a brief storm and some rain, but only the planned cruise-in had to be disrupted since it was held outside. According to Pam Spencer, communications director for Chatfield, the quilt show began several years ago as a way of highlighting the heritage of Appalachian quilters from the area. “Our quilt show has really grown through the years,” Spencer said. “I’d venture to say our show is one of the best quilt shows in Southern Ohio.

JESUS AND NICODEMUS
Within the inspired words of God, there are conversations between Jesus and others that don’t seem to be a typical question and answer session. We will address one today. In John 3 (read John 3:1-15), we find “a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus” who came to Jesus and made a statement. Jesus replied as if it were a question. Before we see what Jesus said, remember the last verse of Chapter Two: “He [Jesus] did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in man.” (John 2:25) Jesus knew what Nicodemus wanted and what was in his heart when he came. Nicodemus says in verse 3:2 that he believed Jesus was from God and the miracles of Jesus confirmed he was from God. Jesus replies, ‘a man must be born again to see the kingdom of God’. (John 3:3) Why would Jesus say this in response to Nicodemus’ statement found in Verse 3:2? Jesus knew his heart and intent. In Verse 4, we find Nicodemus was confused with Jesus’ statement Nicodemus said a man cannot be born of woman again. He missed Jesus’ point. In Verse 5, Jesus gives his answer. This is often confusing to people. It should not be. Jesus’ answer to Nicodemus is really simple and clear. Background: Nicodemus was a Jewish leader. The Jews in Jesus’ day thought that the coming Messiah would establish an earthly Jewish Empire. The Jews would rule the world once again. To the Jewish leaders, like Nicodemus, being born of Abraham (sons of Abraham) made you a part of the Kingdom of God. Please read the encounter in John 8:31-59. There they claim Abraham as their admission ticket in the King-
dom. Jesus says this is not true. And it is not true today either! So, Nicodemus came with this false idea in his heart and Jesus knows a man’s heart. Jesus says everyone now must be “born of water and the spirit” to enter the Kingdom. Entrance into the Kingdom is spiritual birth and not by physical birth. The content of this passage is physical verses spiritual birth. So what is Jesus teaching here? He is teaching of a sinners’ immersion into Christ. Acts 2:38: “Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized [immersed], every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” This is the first pronouncement of what was required in order to enter the Kingdom (church). To say that Jesus’ reference to water in John 3:5 is really physical birth is ludicrous. There is only ONE birth mentioned here. “Water and spirit” is the same birth. (Spiritual.) We see this because the Greek has only one preposition “of” to describe both water and spirit in Verse 3:5. Therefore, ‘water and spirit’ is one and the same, and happens at the same time: at immersion. Jesus consistently tried to teach that things are changing since he came into the world and that many things will change when he leaves this world! Read this passage remembering that Nicodemus misunderstood the nature of the Kingdom then this passage will be clear. If you understand that Jesus is talking about what will soon be taught (sinners’ immersion) then you will not be confused by this passage.
