Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
– John 3:1-6

Nicodemus took a risk coming to Jesus at night. What risks are you willing to take to get to know Jesus more? What fears do you have trying something new? What needs rebirth in your life? Take a few moments in prayer. Remember, with Jesus you have nothing to fear. He is always with you.

Take time to pray and reflect…
