The
Spirit arrives when He wants, and you see what He does, but you don’t see Him.
You don’t know how nor when He acts, nor His intentions for the future. Just
like the wind that blows, so is the Spirit’s work in every person to whom God
gives life in His Son. (John 3:8)
Are
you willing to live your life depending on the Spirit, as Jesus describes Him?
Can you risk your life on this Spirit you can’t control? Go to places He will
show you? Do work you may not even understand?
Jesus explains to
Nicodemus that when you are first born, physically, your spirit doesn’t live.
It is only when the Holy Spirit breathes into you, making you one with Jesus,
that you share in His life. This is the second birth; the birth of the Spirit.
Imagine the person who enjoys hang gliding, jumping from a sheer cliff, and
trusting the wind is present and moving below to keep them from plummeting to
certain death. If you want the freedom of life in Christ, you must make a
similar choice. Nicodemus shook his head saying, “How can this be (verse 9)?”
Simon Peter said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God! (Matthew
16:16)”
What do you say? Are you
ready to live the real life?
