John 3:1–8
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader
of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that
you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you
do apart from the presence of God.” Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell
you, no one can see the kingdom
of God without
being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can anyone be born after
having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be
born?” Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and
Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is
spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.'
The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not
know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born
of the Spirit.”
Reflection
How my reason affects my
faith?
Do I insist that my faith
can be proved? What does faith mean to
me?
