Good morning.
Remember that the people were upset with Jesus; so they were seeking to seize
Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. It
wasn’t His hour to go, so they couldn’t touch Him. Still, many believed in Him.
When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man
has, will He? That got the attention of the Pharisees and the chief priests; so
they sent officers to seize Him. For a little while longer I am with you, then
I go to Him who sent Me. You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I
am, you cannot come. Of course they did not understand what He was talking
about – even His disciples later on did not understand what He was talking
about. No one even considered that He was talking about dying, rising from the
dead, and then ascending to heaven. Now on the last day, the great day of the
feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, if anyone is thirsty, let him come to
Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, from his innermost
being will flow rivers of living water. This statement is reminiscent of the
woman at the well. They of course were thinking of physical water. But this He
spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive, for the
Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Father continue

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
