Today, we began our new series, Conversations with Jesus, with a powerful reminder from Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John 3.
Nicodemus had knowledge, religious background, respect, and a good reputation. Yet Jesus showed him that none of those things could replace the one thing he truly needed: to be born again.
The message was clear: Christianity is not about self-improvement, trying harder, or earning our way to God. New life is a work of the Holy Spirit, received through faith in Jesus Christ.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” | John 3:16
No matter what may be hidden beneath the surface of our lives, Jesus meets us with truth, grace, and hope. He does not ask us to manufacture salvation. He invites us to believe, receive, and be made new from the inside out.
Thank you to everyone who joined us today. I am praying that the wind of the Spirit will continue to move in hearts this week.
