You Must Be Born Again

In chapters 2-4, Jesus encounters 4 Jewish institutions and shows that He is the fulfillment or the true reality to which they all point. This morning we examine, the 3rd of those four institutions, a rabbi. As Jesus comes to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, many people are in awe of the signs He is doing. Such that a rabbi, one of the teachers of Israel, comes to him at night to discuss the Kingdom of God. Jesus teaches him that we cannot enter the Kingdom of God on our own efforts. In fact, we can't even have saving faith apart from God’s grace first working in us. There is nothing we can do to save ourselves. Salvation is by grace through faith.
