'Born Again'

Simple

To be 'born again' meant:

• To get married
• Converted and baptised to Judaism
• Became a son of the commandments
• Ordained as a rabbi
• Became a rabbinical school leader
• Crowned King

Hint

"As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb...so you do not know the work of God who makes everything."

Ecclesiastes 11:5

Jesus is implying:

"There's more to being born again, Nicodemus, and you may have missed it."

Search

2 questions:

• What did the disciples think of Nicodemus' arrival?
• What do you think was going through Nicodemus' mind when he set out to see Jesus?

Secret

Have we, like Nicodemus, got the wrong idea here...have made; attending church, responding to a message or volunteering, signs that we're born again?

"Following Jesus is not about an act or moment of faith but a lifestyle of faith...a life that sets its sights higher than the rules - but to the Spirit behind them."

Maybe we're sat here wondering why we are where we are, why things are the way they are - maybe God wants us to see past the circumstances and 'see the Spirit behind the season'...
