Nicodemus was a religious leader, but wasn't understanding what God was trying to tell him. Those of us who know Jesus as our savior, know that religion has nothing to do with it. Nicodemus came to Jesus by night because he was afraid to be seen with him. He acknowledged that Jesus was from God, called him a Rabbi and a teacher. He knew that Jesus was a good teacher. We were born sinners, we need to be born again, accepting Jesus as our savior. Repenting of our sins and asking Him in our hearts.

We have peace in our belief in Christ. Even if we get to the end and He doesn't exist, He still has helped our lives by believing. However, He does really exist, and we have the peace that passes all understanding. That in itself is a testament that He is real. Old Testament is the Old Covenant, blood sacrifice once every year. New Testament, New Covenant, Christ's blood sacrifice, once for all.

In the Old testament, God dealt directly with His people. In person, through objects (burning bush, cloud, fire, angels, ark),priests, and prophets. God dealt with people in Jesus' time through Jesus. He deals with people now through: holy spirit, Word, church, circumstances, and answering prayers. The church age was ushered in through Jesus Christ. We are that time where God is about to come back and get us. No one knows the time or the season. When He comes back, then He will deal with the Jews again, He's not done with them yet. There will be 144,000 sealed Jews. How are they sealed? The same way we are, through the blood of Christ. This all begins for gentiles in Acts 10.
