Jesus never intended for the message of salvation to remain confined within the walls of our churches or the boundaries of our communities. His command was to make disciples of all nations. The squirrel scatters to preserve its own life. We scatter the seed of the gospel so that others may discover eternal life in Jesus Christ.

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!
