BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT
In today’s Gospel passage Nicodemus comes to meet Jesus in the night seeking for the truth. He chose night probably because to avoid unnecessary attention and accusations. Nicodemus was a leading Pharisee which means he was a learned man who followed the Jewish law to its details. He was convinced that God was working through Jesus but was unable to discover the Messiah, the Promised One of God in Jesus. To understand Jesus right and his Kingdom, on has to be born of water and spirit. Physical birth is visible in the flesh while being born in the spirit is visible from the actions of the person.
We are Christians born of water and spirit. We become credible followers of the Lord only when our good deeds and words surpass the deeds of the world that is selfish. If the word of God has taken root in us then can we be convinced that we are born of the spirit testifying to the life of Jesus in our lives. Ask for the grace of courage to imitate our Lord in our lives.
