Our theme scripture is an excerpt from the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, the Jewish ruler. Jesus told him the most important thing for every human being, to be born again. When you are born again you are born of the Spirit of God. In our anchor scripture Jesus characterized those who are born of the Spirit using a similitude of wind. He said just as no man can tell the source and the destination of wind, so are they that are born of the Spirit. With scientific instrumentation man accurately ascertain the direction of wind but can't pinpoint its source and destination. Even by observing objects movement you can tell the direction of wind but can't determine the source origin and destination points. This shows you that a child of God is a mystery to science and this world. You are a mystery to humanity. Don't seek the approval of men. You are just like Jesus. They couldn't calculate and understand His moves. For instance, to people's amazement He talked to inanimate objects and they all responded. In Matthew 8:27, His disciples astoundingly said, "The men were amazed and said, 'What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!'"

This was the way the Apostles lived after His ascension. They were a mystery to their world. Think about Paul bitten by a venomous viper and yet nothing happened to him. With knowledge of such a snake they thought he would drop dead but the bible says "But Paul shook the snake off into the fire without being harmed at all" (Acts 28:5 GNT). They concluded that he was a god. In Psalm 82:6 God declares, "Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High". When you are born again you are not a normal human being like all else.

You have the life and nature of God and this distinguishes you from the rest. Don't try to live the normal human life, live out the God-life you have. If they did not fully demystify Jesus' and the Apostles moves, why should the world understand you? Those who believe in Jesus have marks that separate them from the rest. In Mark 16:17-18 Jesus said, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover". This is characteristic of your new life in Christ. You are a wonder and a blessing to your generation.
