Gospel Note:
The story of Nicodemus brings together the basic elements of
the later creedal formula, not in some abstract, philosophical
discourse, but rather in response to the very practical,
existential question of salvation. Thus the Spirit is God's
regenerating power "from above," the Son (of man) is the proper
object of faith, and the Father is the loving parent behind the
whole plan for human redemption.
