Before discussing everything found within John 3:16, we pick up with Cass and Tom delving into the soul-soaring interaction between Jesus and a Jewish leader, Nicodemus.

How much should Nicodemus have known about God's kingdom and Jesus' mission? What's all this about the Spirit and being born again? Cass schools us on the origins of baptism. Tom raises his theory about earthly and heavenly things (yeah, it's a good one). We cannot avoid talking about the bronze snake, Moses and what's that got to do with John 3:16.
