OT – Judges 17:1-18:31
A weird throw back story. My commentary says that this was an insert from David’s time. We know this by the repetition of the phrase “In those days Israel had no king.” Why would Jonathan, the grandson of Moses be serving a cast idol, away from the chosen altar at Shiloh? There are lots of weird things going on in this story and in tomorrow’s which is even more unsettling.
NT – John 3:1-21
In this scripture, we meet Nicodemus who illustrates another character facet of Jesus.
Jesus alters lives.
We will see Nicodemus 3 times, each time, more visible and more “out” than before to the point where he asks for Jesus’ dead body. Remember, that would make him ritually unclean for a month. A very, very long time in Pharisee on the Sanhedrin Council’s life.
Listen to this great conversation on Nicodemus from this really high ups at Yale. Skip to minute 3:53 if you have already read the scripture.
