Topic: Born Again!
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. – John 3:3
He was born again. Do you know what Jesus had in mind when He said those two words to Nicodemus? He was talking covenant talk, telling Nicodemus what it meant to have a covenant with God.
Let me paint the picture I believe was in Jesus’ mind. Imagine a baby, a baby born of an unwed mother. No one knows who its daddy is or wants to know. He is a child no one wants. He doesn’t belong to anyone.
Now, picture the best kind of family you can think of. A family that loves God. The man has a good job. TThey’reblessed financially. They are caregivers and lovers of people, and they fall in love with this baby. Before long, they adopt it.
WWhat’shappened? That baby was reborn. He got a new set of parents. Through adoption, he has now become an heir. Why? Not because of anything the baby has done. Those parents didn’t say, “want you to look at that baby. I’m so impressed with all that that child has done for us. He has certainly earned our love and respect.” No, it’s a baby. It couldn’t have done anything to earn a new life. This man and this woman agreed together out of the love in their hearts and bestowed grace on that child. Now, he has access to everything they have. When they offer him a bottle, he doesn’t knock it away and says, “I’m humble and undeserving. Just give me water.”” Of course not. That baby acts like part of the family—not just part of the family, but the best part. Because in Jesus, a covenant or adopted child had the same birthright as the firstborn son.
Jesus was talking about that when He said, “”ou must be born again.”” He was talking about grace, a new relationship of favor, a new family, a new authority, and a new power.
If you feel unworthy to receive God’s rich blessings for you today, think about that. Meditate on it so that instead of worrying about and struggling with your needs, you can walk boldly into your Father’s throne room and receive help meeting those needs.
Discover what it means to be a blood-bought child of Almighty God with a big brother like Jesus. Discover what it means to be born again!
