Yahukanon means : ‘YAHUSHA IS KIND’
1 There was a man named Nicodemus, one of the Pharisees. He was an important Jewish Leader. 2 He came to YAHUSHA (in the secrecy of nighttime) and said, “Teacher, we know that You’ve been sent from Alahim, for no one could do these miraculous signs unless Alahim is with them.”
3 YAHUSHA answered, “I assure you, no one can even see or understand the Kingdom of Alahim unless they have been born anew from above!” (A DIVINE OPERATION FOR A NEW HEART AND SPIRIT). 4 Nicodemus said, “How can a man who is already old be born anew? Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born a second time?”
5 YAHUSHA answered, “I’m telling you that everyone must be born anew from water and the Spirit, and anyone who isn’t can’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 6 Anything born in the flesh is just flesh (the only life people get from their human parents is physical). But anything born anew in the Spirit is Spirit (the new life that the Spirit gives a person is spiritual). PLANTED IN INCORRUPTIBLE SEED FORM 7 Don’t be surprised that I told you, ‘You must be born anew from above.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it wants to. You hear it, but you don’t know where it’s coming from or where it’s going. It is the same with everyone who is born anew from the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus asked, “How’s all this possible?” 10 YAHUSHA said, “Aren’t you an important teacher around here, and you still don’t understand these things? 11 The truth is, we talk about what we know and what we’ve seen. But you people don’t accept what we tell you. 12 If you don’t believe Me when I tell you about earthly matters, then how are you going to believe Me when I speak about Heavenly things? 13 The only one Who’s ever gone up to Heaven is the One Who came down from Heaven - the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, it is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too. 15 Then everyone who believes in Him won’t perish but have Eternal Life.”
( SEE NUM. 21:4-9 … WHEN THE HEBREWS IN THE WILDERNESS WERE DYING FROM SNAKE BITES, YAHUAH TOLD MOSES TO PUT A BRASS SNAKE ON A POLE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AND BE HEALED. )
16 Yes, Alahim loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him would not be lost and perish but have Eternal Life. 17 Alahim sent His Son into the world, not to judge the world as guilty, but to deliver them through Him. 18 People who believe in Alahim's Son are not judged guilty, but people who don’t believe are already judged, because they have not believed in Alahim's only Son. 19 And they are judged by this fact: The light (YAHUSHA MESSIAH - THE LIVING WORD) has come into the world, but they didn’t want light. They wanted darkness instead, because they were doing evil things. 20 And everyone who behaves evil hates the light and will not come into the light, because the light will reveal and show-up all the bad things they’ve done and thought. 21 But anyone who follows the truth, comes to the light, and the light will show-up whatever they’ve done, proving that it was through Alahim.
22 After this, YAHUSHA and His Discples went into the area of Judea and stayed there immersing people. 23 John was also immersing people in Aenon, a place near Salim with plenty of water. People were going there to be immersed. 24 (This was before John was put in prison). 25 Some of John’s followers had an argument with another Jew about ceremonial washing/cleansing. 26 Then they came to John and said, “Teacher, remember the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River? He is the One you were telling everyone about. He is also immersing people, and many are going to Him.” 27 John answered, “A person can only receive something if Alahim gives it to him. 28 You yourselves heard me say, ‘I am not the Messiah. I’m only the one Alahim sent to prepare the way for Him.’ 29 The Bride always belongs to the Bridegroom. The friend who helps the Bridegroom just waits and listens, and is happy just to hear the Bridegroom speak. That’s how I feel now. I’m so happy that He is here. 30 He must become more and more important, and I must become less important.
31 The One Who comes from above is greater than all others. The One Who is from the earth belongs to the earth. He talks about things that are on the earth. But the One who comes from Heaven is greater than all others. 32 He speaks about what He’s seen and heard, but people don’t accept what He says. 33 But whoever does accept what He says has given proof through changed behaviour that Alahim speaks the truth. 34 For the one Who Alahim sent, speaks the Words of Alahim, Who doesn’t give His Spirit by measure, but fully. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given Him power over everything. 36 So whoever believes in the Son has Eternal Life. But those who don’t obey the Son will never have that life, and will never escape from Alahims wrath.”
