While Nicodemus’ night visit to Jesus followed a lot of deliberation, this dilemma seemed to spring up suddenly. Some of the leading Pharisees (some of whom also served on the Sanhedrin) claimed that none of the Pharisees or Sanhedrin members had believed in Jesus. This public condemnation of believers in Christ created a crisis for Nicodemus. He faced a dilemma much like MBBs do today!

Since most Muslims make decisions based on “honor & shame,” they may consider the Good News to be Bad News! Leaving Islam causes shame!
