Scripture

John 3:4-7

“What do you mean? exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again? Jesus replied, “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. So don’t be surprised when I say You must be born again.”

Observation

Nicodemus was a Pharisee who came to talk to Jesus in the middle of the night. Nicodemus spoke of how God must be with Jesus because of all the miraculous signs and Jesus replied with verses 4-7. Nicodemus became confused with Jesus’ statement because he did not get the concept.

Application

While reading John 3 this popped right out and I knew this was the verses I should pick. When I try to explain what “born again” means to me, people don’t get it. It’s hard for me to try and explain it to them and I always fumble over my words. I feel convicted to memorize these phrases so when someone does ask me about my relationship with God and I say I’m “born-again” I’ll be able to explain without fumbling over words.

Prayer

Lord, give me the capabilities and conviction to memorize these verses, give me the chances to speak to people who don’t know you, give me the chances to show You through me. Amen
