Session 6

You must be born again

From The Life of Jesus: 50 Days in the Book of John

Read John 3:1-15

Now, spend some time reflecting on what you read and what stood out to you.

  • It is kind of weird for Jesus to tell an old guy that he should be born again. What does Jesus mean by what He tells Nicodemus?
  • Are you born again in Jesus? What does that change about your life?
  • What do you think John 3:8 means?

Finally, spend some time responding to Jesus in prayer. What do you want to thank Him for? What do you want to ask Him for? What do you need to confess to Him?
