his chapter in John has some “famous” verses in it. It is also where Christ is speaking to a Jewish pastor that hid under the cover of darkness to come and speak to him. He was afraid of what people might think if he was caught speaking to Christ, but he was drawn to him. Spend some time in the book of John, it is impossible to read John and not see Christ. It is a great book for a new believer to read also. I hope you all have a great weekend, and I want to thank you for letting me share where Christ has spoken to me each morning. It and you have been a great encouragement to me.
Born Again
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Christ was responding to a question by a Jewish pastor here. A leader in the church, who silently at night came to see Jesus because he did not understand. Do you think that being a good person, or going to church, or being better than that “bad” person will ‘earn’ you way into heaven? Salvation is a representation of new life, being born again. It is something that until you possess it, you cannot begin to understand it. The Holy Spirit will shed a different light on the way you view everything, and He will begin to help you understand your bible as you never have before.
We have the busyness of our day, and the American dream that tells us we can do anything that we put our mind to. If we want any goal set before us, all we must do is put our minds to the task, and press on until we accomplish it. It will never be easy, it will require a lot of long hours, dedication, and perseverance to accomplish what we desire to accomplish. This will never get you into heaven. “Nor or your ways My ways (Isaiah 55:8).” You can only humble yourself, confess your sins, accept Christ as the ONLY Way, and be born again.
