The New Birth
A common misunderstanding of being ‘born again’ is that it’s an experience for broken people, a way for outcasts and moral failures to ‘turn their life around.’ Yet, when Jesus teaches on being born again, He does so by challenging a man who is the very opposite of the ‘born again’ stereotype. Nicodemus was an upright moral man and a leader in his society—and yet Jesus said that all of his accomplishments meant nothing unless he was born again.
