Born Again!

There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus.

“Rabbi we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.”

“I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

“What do you mean? How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

“I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.”

“How are these things possible?”

As Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
