Have you been born again? This phrase is so common in Christian terminology that few consider the shocking impact of this statement. Have you become immune to it through familiar usage? Nicodemus was right to be shocked and bewildered at this concept. The impact was not lost on him. It is indeed an eternal truth presented as a riddle and a mystery. Do you see all Christian doctrine as easily reducible to propositional truth claims? What then does it mean to be born of water and the spirit? What does it mean to be sifted like wheat and baptized by fire and die daily? These do not lend themselves to easy answers, but there is transformation available in pondering them.
