This message finishes our series by looking at someone who has bowed before several different kings throughout the Gospel of John. Nicodemus’ faith experience is typical and it is helpful to review and study. In today's lesson, we see that many of us are hesitant to worship Christ because we harbor doubts and fears. However, we also learn that when we arrive at the foot of the cross, and bow before Jesus alone, it all begins to make sense for us.
Loyalty is a good thing -- unless you count on loyalty to save you! Sometimes we can worship loyalty and give it to much credence. Today we will look at a very loyal person, John, and see that there are some wonderful aspects of his loyalty but that it also could have been a barrier for him. Hopefully, we will be able to identify the same in our own lives.
This message shows some “church people” who are stuck in the way they always do things and they don’t like change.

Many Christians seek Jesus for salvation but don’t realize that He wants to be our King. In our study together today, we see what happens when a powerful man crumbles under the weight of his situation by serving “sanity” as his king.
