BORN AGAIN

BORN AGAIN

Nicodemus was an old man,

Who had some questions for the Lord,

He saw His mighty miracles,

And wanted to know more.

*

In the darkness, in the starlight,

He made his inquiry,

Hoping for some answers,

To the signs that he had seen.

*

Surprised by the Lord’s answer,

He said how can these things be,

Be born again at my old age,

Nicodemus could not see.

*

Yes, Nicodemus had some questions,

He, an old man getting closer to the tomb,

How could he be born a second time,

Again, from his mother’s womb.

*

But Jesus was not talking,

Of his flesh that soon would die,

It was the Holy Spirit,

That would give a man new life.

*

Except a man be born again,

God’s kingdom he cannot see,

Except a man be born again,

In God’s heaven he will never be.

*

Jesus loved Nicodemus,

Wanted salvation to bestow,

Jesus loved Nicodemus,

And He wanted him to know.

John 3:4-6 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

What does it mean to be born again?
