Nicodemus had lots of questions...

Nicodemus had lots of questions for Jesus. He was an inquisitive student.
A pastor tells about his experience with students: "I have the privilege of teaching the confirmation class to the seventh-graders in our church each year. I suppose I could find someone else to teach it, but as the pastor I delight in this opportunity to get to know these young people on a more personal basis and count it as time well spent. I always tell the class each year that they can talk to me about anything.
"Three weeks into our class this year, the only girl in the group of eleven confirmands came up to me after class with lots of questions. In particular, she had questions about her uncle's death at an early age of 48. She had questions about meditation and spirituality and faith. As I talked with her about these things and helped her in her faith journey, it forced me to think more about my own."
Asking questions is sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do.
