DENNIS Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett, with Central United Methodist Church. When Nicodemus visited with Jesus, the two had a very lengthy conversation about what the spiritual life looks like and how it actually takes place. At first, it seemed to be more of a philosophical idea rather than something tangible. However, when the Spirit of God stirs the heart we begin to feel a change. Just like us, Nicodemus had a choice to make. 1.) He could ignore that stirring. or 2.) He could accept the invitation to follow. Well, Nicodemus took option number two. Then he was moved to return to his position on the Council and be an influence on those around him. In Chapter 7, we find that he actually stands up in front of his colleagues and defends the rights of Christ. Did you know that we are called to be an influence on every person we meet? It is true. We can simply demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ, show genuine compassion and friendship. Our world needs more of such things, don’t you think? So today, I encourage you to be a Christlike influence on everyone you meet. Who knows, you may just change someone’s day. God bless.
