>From Lenski's ST, John, p254.
"From the great person who came from heaven and can testify to the
heavenly
things Jesus advances to the great salvation coming through this person.
Fore he shall be far more than a witness, he is the Savior himself. Thus
Jesus seeks to kindle faith in Nicodemus, faith in the divine salvation
offered him. 'And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus
lifted up must be the Son of man, in order that everyone believing may in
him have life eternal.' "
