Tuesday of the 2nd Week of Easter – John 3:7b-15
The interaction between Nicodemus and Jesus continues in today’s reading. Jesus tells Nicodemus that there is no logical explanation for “being born from above.” We may sense it but it is not within our control. We cannot make it happen. Nor do we know when it will come nor can we control where it will go. This is God’s to do! This birth is born from above. It is from God! However, we are able to pray and ask to “be born from above.” Naturally this does not mean that we literally will be born again. Rather, it is that we will be born anew. The new life that we will receive will be a spiritual gift!
What is the spiritual gift you desire in this Easter season? What is the new life that you desire? The Easter season is a time of miracles and new life. We can literally see this as we watch the trees and plants around us. They all are coming to life, blossoming and sharing their beauty with us. Today, trust that God will gift you with “new” life! We may know exactly what we desire. However, God may choose to give us an unexpected gift that will bless us abundantly! Today keep your mind, eyes and heart open! Beauty and grace will come to us!
