NICODEMUS AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN: NEW BIRTH AND LIVING WATER
The lecture places Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman side by side to show how Jesus uses spiritual metaphors. It unpacks “born of water and Spirit” and relates the imagery to cleansing and a new heart promise (Ezekiel 36). It highlights Johannine contrasts—light and darkness, belief and rejection—and the role of testimony in coming to faith. It then introduces the themes of “signs” and the “I am” sayings and sets up discussion of John 6:25–58.
