John 3:8



Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 3 8. The wind blows, where it wishes. And you hear it sound. But you do not know where it comes from or where it goes, so it is with everyone who is born of the spirit. 

In this way, Jesus explains the born-again experience. He likens it to the wind which comes and goes, but it is impossible to tell exactly how or what causes it to blow in a certain direction or exactly where it originates.  The idea is one cannot deny it's presence because it can be readily felt. However, it's coming and going is a mystery.

So it is with everyone who is born of the spirit. The born again experience is beyond comprehension. One knows that God is the author of the Salvation and that he carries it out by the power of the Holy Spirit, according to the faith evidenced in Jesus, And what he did at Calvary.

We also know it is a gift of God. However, The means of, in which the Lord. This, the changing of a human heart immediately upon faith in Christ is as the wind indiscernible. I can only say that I experienced a born-again experience 40 years back in a small house in Bangalore.

And it is still fresh in my mind. My life changed, I started to have interest in the things of God. I started to read my word of God, I started to pray, I started to go to meetings where the gospel was preached and my sinful nature left me.

So I can tell it is an experience that every Christian had to go through. Have you gone through this experience? Have you been born again? 

Prayer 

Let us pray. Holy Father, I thank you. That the born-again experience is from you. It is not through human efforts. It's not through human works, or it is not even through our religious life, but it is the work by the Holy spirit in our lives.

Lord each one of us, we need it. Oh God, we commit ourselves into your hands. We give you glory in Jesus name, I pray. Amen. God bless you.

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...
