The Gospel’s Timeless Call: From Nicodemus to Today

Jun 8, 2025    Norm Goos

Today, we delve into one of the most familiar yet profound passages in Christianity: the story of Nicodemus and Jesus, centered around John 3:16. This narrative challenges us to look beyond surface-level belief and consider what it truly means to be 'born again' or 'born from above.' We're reminded that religious knowledge or good deeds alone aren't enough for salvation; instead, we need a spiritual rebirth that comes from God. The analogy of the wind beautifully illustrates how the Spirit works in mysterious ways, transforming us into 'living mysteries' to the world. As we reflect on this, let's consider: Are we merely religious, or have we truly surrendered our lives to Christ? This message urges us to examine our hearts and embrace the profound transformation that comes with genuine faith.
