Jesus tells Nicodemus—who comes to him at night—that he needs to be born from above in order to see the Kingdom of God. We, too, come to Jesus in the darkness of our own sins and doubts and question God. We ask him, “How can we be reborn again?” And he answers that the Spirit is the one who will give us new life and we don’t need to know where it comes from or where it is going. The only thing we need to do is listen to the Holy Spirit and follow God's inspirations. If we do these things, then we will be reborn into Christ and our thoughts, words, and works will have him as their source, center, and summit.
How can we be renewed in our faith? What steps do we need to take to become true children of God? What is the Holy Spirit calling us to do?
O Lord, we want to be born again in you.
Amen.
