The Mystery Of The New Birth
John 3: 4-8
When Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again, Nicodemus could not grasp how that could be.
He imagined himself going back into his mother’s womb to be born a second time.
He wanted to know how this could happen.
So he asked Jesus about the “How?” of the new birth.
Nicodemus knew that he was in the presence of a mystery and he wanted the answers.
*******
The new birth is a mysterious thing.
None of us truly understands everything there is to know about it.
It is still a mystery even to those of us who have experienced it!
*******
But the fact that it is a mystery should not cause us to avoid it altogether!
There are many things in life that we do not understand, but we still believe in them.
So, we must not allow the mystery of the new birth keep us from being saved!
