“In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” (John 3:3, NIV)
That is Jesus’ reply to Nicodemus, “no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” Now, I don’t know what you are thinking, but I am thinking that I very much would like to see the kingdom of God. After all, it probably has something to do with seeing Jesus who is the King of that kingdom. It probably has something to do with seeing the throne of heaven. And certainly, this being “born again” must have something to do with going to heaven.
Now I have heard people say that there are many ways or roads to heaven. And while that may sound reassuring, Jesus is saying something very different here. Jesus said that “no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” Whatever it means to be “born again” I want to make certain that I have understood this teaching of Jesus so that I can see the kingdom of God. Tune in tomorrow so we can gain a little more understanding of what it means to be “born again” by Jesus.

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s presentation…………thanks again, for sharing God’s plan.
