Did you know Jesus had special friends too? Nicodemus opened the door just a tiny bit He looked to see if anyone was walking on the street But there was no one there The coast was clear He closed the door gently and walked to the city gate While Nicodemus walked, he thought about the new teacher He had listened to him teach And Nicodemus had studied his bible scrolls and he was sure that this new teacher was someone sent by God Nicodemus thought that this new teacher was the promised saviour The Messiah they had been waiting for But he wanted to make sure Nicodemus had important friends and this new teacher was not popular Nicodemus's friends didn't like the new teacher So Nicodemus had decided that he was going to see him at night And that's what he did He walked in the darkness to meet Jesus "I know that you're a teacher from God," Nicodemus said to Jesus No one could do miracles like you unless they came from God Jesus spoke kindly to Nicodemus "God loves everybody," he told Nicodemus God loves people so much that he has sent someone very special His own son to help people on this earth Now Nicodemus was sure Jesus was very special And as he thought Now Nicodemus was sure Jesus was very special And as he thought And thought And he read his bible scrolls And thought somemore Nicodemus was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah The Saviour, God had promised to send But Nicodemus has a problem His friends did not like Jesus They did not want Jesus to teach and to heal people So they tried to stop Him But when Nicodemus's important friends tried to hurt Jesus, or to make things hard for Him Nicodemus talked them out of it "You can't do that," he told them That's not right, that's not what our laws say When Jesus died, Nicodemus was there to help He did not care if other people saw him Nicodemus had once been a secret friend But now, everybody could see, he was a friend of Jesus Nicodemus was also very rich He spent all of his money helping other people know about Jesus He wanted others to be Jesus's special friends too Would you like to be Jesus's special friend today? Just as Nicodemus was? Would you like to tell your friends about Jesus?
