Scripture

John 3

1 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. 2 After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.”

3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

5 Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. 6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. 7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’

Observation

It doesn’t matter if you are Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, what matters is have you been born again. Have you been born again? When were you born again? Jesus told the Jewish religious leader Nicodemus that it is the only way to see the Kingdom of God is to be born again. There is only one way to be born again. You have to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. It is a spiritual rebirth. Have you been born again?

You can’t experience Christmas unless you have been born again! The Purpose of Christmas is Celebration, Salvation, and Reconciliation!

Application

I will share the Good News that everyone must be born again!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for the opportunity to talk to people about their relationship with Jesus. Thank you for giving me that chance today and I pray for more opportunities tomorrow. I pray that you prepare hearts for folks to be born again.
