Sermon for May 31, 2026
A reflection on John 3, where Jesus tells Nicodemus, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” The Greek word for “again” also means “from above,” and Nicodemus could not follow because Jesus was speaking a language from above: a language of mercy, forgiveness, transformation, and salvation. Christians learn to speak that language, and it calls us to action, not silence. We should be sorry for the words we fail to say, like “I forgive you” or “I will pray for you,” because the world needs to hear the saving words of Christ.
