Born from Above


Tuesday, February 28 – Read John 3:1-16

Nicodemus the Pharisee comes to Jesus at night seeking to see the light. He wants to know how Jesus can do miracles. Jesus tells him that these are acts of the kingdom of God and that no one can see the kingdom without being born from above (born again). Nicodemus can’t see how we can crawl inside our mothers’ wombs to be physically born again. Jesus says it is a spiritual rebirth, where the wind or Spirit of God gives us new life. Even more, this life is eternal and God gives it to the whole world in love. The question is, do we love darkness or light?

Reflection Question: How does God get you pregnant with new life through the power of God’s Spirit?

Prayer: Dear God, let me be born from above. Fill me with your Spirit. Make me your child. Amen.
