April 20th

Canon Michael's words for the Monday of the 2nd Week of Easter

Today's Gospel is from St John. It's the Gospel I like to have for a baptism. It features Nicodemus, the man who came to see Jesus by night. He didn't want anyone to know that he was talking with Jesus. Nicodemus was a leading Jew and a member of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was for the  senate for Jewish priests.

Nicodemus was told by Jesus that we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God. This is Baptism.

Nicodemus was privileged to help bring Jesus down from the cross. He was truly born again when he was very old.
