约翰福音［第3章］
[赦罪与重生之道]

1.谦卑官长找耶稣（V1-2）

不一样的法利赛人，竟然从耶稣所行的神迹中断定耶稣是从神而来！这与其他法利赛人大不相同。谦卑、客观、不随波逐流者蒙恩啊！

2.重生方能见神国（V3-8）

什么是重生和进入神的国？进入母腹重新生出来吗？必须从水和圣灵才能得永生、进神国。那是什么？水有洗污洁净的意思。圣灵则是更新我们的旧生命，赐给我们拥有无限可能的新生命。

3.如何才能得重生（V9-17）

摩西举蛇预表耶稣被挂在十字架上，成为了救赎的记号。熟悉的316经文表明信耶稣得永生，免去沉沦灭亡。正如我们预备迎接明晚的逾越节的意义，神的羔羊代死赎罪，我们因为相信而得蒙赦罪，得享永生。

4.光中恩或罪中死（V18-21）

你愿意选择生路和死路？光明或黑暗？这问题仿佛是多问的！有人会选择黑暗的死路吗？理论上应该是不会，但是事实上人就是轻易选择作恶过于为善，因为人心容易偏向黑暗啊！

二、关于受洗得洁净（约3:22-36）

1.关于水的洗礼（V22-23）

“水的洗净”是生活中最平凡和普遍的事，但是在属灵上的意义也是很类似啊！这表明我们都需要在相信之余，也要接受水的洗礼啊。洗去我们一切的污秽啊！

2.关于何谓洁净（V24-27）

犹太人的洁净之礼出自会幕中的洗濯盆，而我们信仰中的洗礼不正是这意思吗？因为信的人都要经过水的洗礼啊！洗礼也是洗去我们的罪。（使徒行传 22:16 现在你为什么耽延呢？起来！求告他的名受洗，洗去你的罪。）

3.主兴旺我衰微（V28-32）

我们的生命既然蒙了拯救，最终都是为要荣耀神、高举神。我们越是谦卑，越是可以让主被高举。

4.与主同作见证（V33-36）

耶稣基督是父神的见证，我们也是基督的见证人，因此我们要为主而活，活出美好的生命见证啊！

总结：我是有永生的人！

我们是因为相信耶稣而得了重生的永生人！
我们竟可以为神而活，去影响和赢得世界啊！

John 3
The Way of Forgiveness and Rebirth

1. A Humble Leader Seeks Jesus (V1–2)

A Pharisee unlike the others—he discerned from Jesus’ miracles that He was sent from God! This is a stark contrast to the typical Pharisees. Blessed are those who are humble, objective, and not swayed by the crowd!

2. Only Through Rebirth Can One See the Kingdom of God (V3–8)

What does it mean to be born again and to enter God’s kingdom? Is it to return to the mother’s womb and be born again? Jesus explains we must be born of water and the Spirit to have eternal life and enter the kingdom.

Water symbolizes cleansing and purification.

The Spirit renews our old life and gives us a new life full of divine potential. 3. How Can One Be Born Again? (V9–17)

Just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up—a foreshadowing of Jesus on the cross.

The well-known John 3:16 shows that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life and not perish. As we prepare to observe Passover, we remember: the Lamb of God was sacrificed for our sins. By faith, we are forgiven and receive eternal life.

4. Grace in the Light or Death in Sin (V18–21)

Which will you choose—life or death, light or darkness? It seems like a no-brainer! Who would willingly choose darkness? Yet in reality, people often choose evil over good, because the human heart leans toward darkness.

II. Concerning Cleansing Through Baptism (John 3:22–36)

1. The Baptism of Water (V22–23)

“Washing with water” is a simple, everyday act. But its spiritual meaning is powerful! Along with faith, we must also receive baptism. It cleanses us of all spiritual uncleanness.

2. What Does It Mean to Be Clean? (V24–27)

Jewish cleansing rituals involved the washbasin in the tabernacle. Our baptism holds similar meaning—it washes away sin.

As Acts 22:16 says: “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”

3. He Must Increase, I Must Decrease (V28–32)

Since our lives have been saved, our ultimate purpose is to glorify and exalt God. The more we humble ourselves, the more Christ can be magnified in us.

4. Co-Witnesses with Christ (V33–36)

Jesus Christ is the one who bears witness to the Father. And we, as His followers, also bear witness to Him. Let us live for the Lord and reflect His goodness in our lives.

Conclusion: I Am One Who Has Eternal Life!

Through believing in Jesus, we have been born again into eternal life.
We are now able to live for God, to influence and win the world for His glory!
