Jesus told Nicodemus an interesting paradox that a person has to be born again to see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus took Jesus literally and thus didn't understand him. Jesus often spoke figuratively.<BR/>I believe that verse 8 is referring <BR/>to baptism (water) which is a rebirth into a new life. See Romans 6:4. <BR/>Baptism is not merely a washing with water but a spiritual rebirth when done in response to God's direction (which is found in His Word which is inspired by the Holy Spirit).Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060957102738832224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10914207.post-1114402181096966302005-04-24T22:09:00.000-06:002005-04-24T22:09:00.000-06:00Carol,What does this passage mean to you?Carol,<BR/><BR/>What does this passage mean to you?moirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949972069182918840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10914207.post-1114391702831118002005-04-24T19:15:00.000-06:002005-04-24T19:15:00.000-06:00Amen :)Amen :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649007194044098187noreply@blogger.com
