Video - Born Again: Jesus and Nicodemus
Jesus and Nicodemus: In John 3:1-21, we encounter a conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council. This encounter takes place at night, symbolizing Nicodemus' quest for spiritual enlightenment and understanding. Nicodemus acknowledges Jesus as a teacher from God, recognizing the signs and wonders Jesus has performed. Jesus responds by revealing a profound truth: "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." Nicodemus, perplexed, questions how one can be born again when they are already old. Jesus explains that this rebirth is not physical but spiritual, born of water and the Spirit. He elaborates that just as the wind blows where it pleases, so too is the work of the Spirit in transforming hearts and lives. Jesus contrasts earthly understanding with heavenly realities, emphasizing the necessity of belief in him for eternal life. He illustrates this with the example of Moses lifting up the snake in the wilderness, foreshadowing his own crucifixion and salvation for all who believe. In this profound dialogue, Jesus invites Nicodemus—and all of us—to embrace spiritual rebirth through faith in him. It is a transformative message of grace and salvation, echoing through the ages to guide us toward eternal life in God's kingdom. Did you like this video?
