When Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again, it messed with his mind! Nicodemus could not grasp how that could be. He imagined himself going back into his mother’s womb to be born a second time. I am sure his mother would have vetoed that idea! He wanted to know how this could happen, so he asked Jesus about the “HOW?” of the new birth. Nicodemus knows that he is in the presence of a mystery and he wants the answers. The mystery, simply stated, is how a sovereign act of God by His Spirit works to cleanse from sin and give spiritual birth into God’s household and how it renews the believer’s intellect, sensibility, and will to enable that person to enter the kingdom of God and to do good works. None of us truly understands everything there is to know about it. It is still a mystery, even to those of us who have experienced it! However, don’t let the fact that it is a mystery cause you to avoid it altogether! You don’t let the mystery of electricity cause you to sit in the dark do you? You don’t let the mystery of how a brown cow can eat green grass and give yellow butter and white milk stop you from enjoying butter, milk and ice cream do you? In this series, Pastor will explore “The New Birth” and, perhaps, unlock some of the mystery.
