Friends of God, like the prophets, gospel writers and disciples have complete trust that God is their champion and is at their side.
John has Jesus show Nicodemus what Moses learnt at Mount Sinai ‘school’ and what Paul bathed the Corinthians in.
Humanity is in ‘communion’ with the body and blood of Christ – one loaf which unites the many into a single body.
As Moses asked the people to remember how God freed them from slavery, Paul asks the new church to remember how Christ died for them.
What is told in the dark can now be told in daylight - humanity has been freed from slavery. ‘Do not be afraid’!
