WHAT JESUS IS

WHAT JESUS IS

“To the educator, He is the great teacher – John 3:2”

Unknown

In John chapter three the Lord Jesus Christ teaches Nicodemus. Nicodemus is Israel’s teacher. Here, the Lord Jesus Christ , the Divine Teacher, instructs  Nicodemus concerning the New Birth.

Nicodemus is interested in the miracles the Lord is performing. He talks to the Lord about the miracles.

The Lord has changed water into wine. He has healed the Son of the Official. Then there is the catch of fishes. Jesus heals the demonic in the synagogue. Peter’s mother-in-law is also healed. Jesus is cleansing the leper. And the list goes on.

What does the Lord answer? He starts to talk about the greatest miracle to Nicodemus. The greatest miracle is the NEW BIRTH.

Another name for the NEW BIRTH is REGENERATION.

WHAT IS REGENERATION ALL ABOUT?

I have learnt that God is the author of generation, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the channel of regeneration and that the Holy Spirit is the executive of regeneration. “The medium of  regeneration is  through receiving Christ by believing the Word of God.” ONE HUNDRED BIBLE LESSONS  by Alban Douglas, page 120.

“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

Are you born again?
