MOST OVERLOOKED VERSE IN THE BIBLE?

If you ask a Christian what their favorite verse in the Gospel of John is, most of the time the response is: John 3:16. My favorite however, may be one of the most overlooked verses in the Bible: John 3:21. “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
           I love this verse because it gives insight into one of the many ways that God draws people to Himself. In this instance, the Apostle John shared that in Christ’s conversation with Nicodemus that a person that lives out the truth of the Scriptures will eventually come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Why is that so crucial? Because that is exactly what was taking place in the life of Nicodemus. He was a Pharisee or a student of the Law and his life gave evidence that he was trying to live out the what he had studied. After all it was Nicodemus who called out the injustice of his fellow Pharisees in John Chapter 7 and would one day assist with the burial of Jesus after he was crucified.
          Do you know someone that is such a “good person” and you want them to trust Christ? Your evangelistic efforts seem to have fallen on deaf ears? Be encouraged! They that do the truth will come to the light. It’s God’s promise! Keep praying and one day, God willing you will see it happen.
