Revelation of the Word:

THEME: THE HOLY SPIRIT

John 3:2-8

“This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

INSIGHT

-Nicodemus had misconceptions on faith in Christ and the gift of salvation. As we read from Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God”. Salvation is a gift from God which comes through faith in Jesus Christ. When we believe in Christ and are baptized, the Holy Spirit comes to us and indwells us. In Acts chapter 8, we find Philip who was sent by an angel to preach to an Ethiopian Eunuch who did not understand the scriptures he read. Philip spoke to Him about Jesus and when they came by water and he intended to be baptized, Philip said; “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And the Eunuch said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” (Acts 8:37). And the Ethiopian Eunuch was baptized and saved. We are all called to baptism and faith in Christ, that is; to be born of water and the Spirit so that we may inherit the kingdom of God. Like the wind blows where it wishes and one cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes, so is the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, leads us in the direction He wills. If we have faith in God, we should submit our will to His and He will lead us in all things according to His divine purposes.
