John 3:1-2 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night.

Nicodemus was afraid of what people would say if he was seen in public with Jesus, so he snuck around. He wanted to be really, really sure before he took a chance on Jesus. He was, finally, sure—really, really sure. But I think there is a blessing in store for all who stand up for and with Jesus, in broad daylight, even before they actually have the proof.
