Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3:3
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. Though the Bible does not say why he came at night, it is widely accepted and believed that he came at night for fear of other Jewish leaders and teachers seeing him talk to Jesus. The others do not accept who Jesus is, but Nicodemus does believe. Jesus tells a great teaching to Nicodemus. NO ONE CAN SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNLESS THEY ARE BORN AGAIN. Now, how in the world can we be born again? Nicodemus is a grown man and has already been born. This is when Jesus explains to be born again is to lose your old self and become a new creation in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17) To repent of your old sinful ways and strive to be holy for Jesus is holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16) When we are born again, we accept that it is no longer us that lives, but it is Christ who lives in us and through us. (Galatians 2:20) We surrender to the one true living God in Christ Jesus. There is no other way to heaven but to be born again in Christ. A spiritual birth knowing that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and the no one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)
As a great hymn says, TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY. As we come to Jesus in prayer, whether it be at day or night, let us remember that He is holy, and it is by His death and resurrection that we are forgiven and saved for eternity. If you are born again, share the message of Jesus everywhere. If you have not been born again, today is the day to be born again. Let today be your new spiritual birthday!!
