In this study, we will start things off with some pretty heavy material. After Jesus was born and as he grew up, how far back did his personal memories go? Could he personally remember his life with the Father before he became human? We will discuss a theory concerning what it must have been like for Jesus when He came into what Bible scholars call, "His Full Knowledge." We will also get into the significance of Jesus' first miracle, the turning of water into wine at a wedding feast in Cana. Then we will cover one of the most famous portions of the entire Bible, the conversation with Nicodemus which led to the famous John 3:16. During this conversation, Jesus covered the necessity of spiritual rebirth, the prerequisite to "ever seeing the Kingdom of God" and a surprising portion of the conversation which is rarely understood. Not too many expositors will expound upon it, but we will. What did Jesus mean by comparing Himself to the serpent that Moses lifted up in the wilderness?
