John 3:1-7 "How can anyone Be born who has already been born and grown up? Message


Born From Above

John 3:1-7 There was a man of the Pharisee sect, Nicodemus, a prominent leader among the Jews

Late one night he visited Jesus and said, "Rabbi, we all know you're a teacher straight from God. No one could do all the God-pointing, God-revealing acts you do if God weren't in on it."

Jesus said, "You're absolutely right. Take it from me; Unless a person is born from above, it's not possible to see what I'm pointing to--to God's kingdom."

Question in the Bible

"How can anyone," said Nicodemus, "Be born who has already been born and grown up? You can't re-enter you mother's womb and be born again. What are you saying with this 'born-from-above' talk?"

Answer in the bible

Jesus said, "You're not listening. Let me say it again. Unless a person submits to this original creation--the 'wind-hovering-over-the-water' creation, the invisible moving the visible, a baptism into a new life--it's not possible to enter God's kingdom.

When you look at a baby, it's just that; a body you can look at and touch. But the person who takes shape within is formed by something you can't see and touch--the Spirit-- and becomes a living spirit.

"So don't be so surprised when I tell you that you have to be 'born from above'--out of this world, so to speak.
