The Greatest Interview of All Time

A sermon on John 3

November 11, 1979 | First Baptist Church (Conway, AR)

Nicodemus was an intellectual and leader of his people. He was a modern man in that he was a stranger to the best in his own religious heritage, he saw Jesus only as a religious superstar, and he hears Christ’s message in solely materialistic terms. Our society has the same myopic understanding of life. In our sensate world which cannot fathom a non-materialistic explanation for life, we must live lives which are undeniably carried along by the wind of the Spirit and ask ourselves which of these traits of Nicodemus we exhibit.
