John 3:1-17
“Isn’t it interesting, how we can try to force something even so new, into something tedious and predictable. Because we are uncomfortable with mystery, with the unknown. We want it all to fit into our boxes, into our preconceived notions.
. . .
This is a passage that tells us that the life of faith is not about foreclosing the work, in formulaic ways, in ways that seek to confine the work of God, to reduce the Holy Spirit into trite insider/outsider litmus tests. To be born again by the Spirit is a mystery. It is not a dividing line or a code-word for right belief.”
