• What is John trying to say about Jesus by recording him referencing Daniel 7:13-14?
• Read Numbers 21:4-9 as a group. John records Jesus allegorizing this narrative in 3:1-15, what do the following elements represent; snakes, stick, bronze serpent? What was Jesus trying to get Nicodemus to understand about his mission?
• What is essential to belief in Jesus?

Big Idea:

•  Where do you look for the “good” life?
