It’s time to go all in and all out for the All in All. Pack your coffin!”

And yet, he did everything God asked him to do.”

Even though both sons are wrong, however, the father cares for them and invites them both back into his love and feast.”

Following Jesus would require a commitment that would cost Nicodemus a great deal....In fact, it's true throughout all of Scripture....Following Jesus isn't something you can do at night where no one notices.
