Encounters with Jesus, Class Four: Nicodemus the Pharisee

About this episode

This episode explores the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus, highlighting the deep spiritual questions addressed by Jesus.

Jesus had a remarkable way with people.  He spoke to their most intimate questions in their deep need for God—whether they knew them or not.  In Encounters with Jesus , we peer into a few of his most memorable encounters as described by St. John the Apostle in his Gospel.  An important religious leader, Nicodemus seeks out Jesus in the dead of night, fearful for what anyone spotting him might think!   But he is driven by a question that he does not ask but Jesus nevertheless answers.
