of God. By his status in the society he could not confront Jesus in
the public. But he saw his shortfall despite being religious and he
wanted to be saved from evil to get to Heaven.
Jesus told him He must be born again of Water and the Holy Spirit.
Over the ages this verse has been said and said but not many have understood.
Take it like a public key cryptographic protocal. There is one private
key for which all may go through. One needs to negotiate with the
security provider in order to establish a connection.
In our case Jesus would be this provider and key.
Flesh gives birth to flesh(John 3:6). In my own ways I can do good but
without a relationship with Jesus making peace with Him or my works
are in vain. The works would paint me red like all God's children but
if the Paint is not the blood of Jesus I still perish. If one of the
eqyptians had done what the jews did they too would have been saved
from the Angel of Death.
The wind blows where it wishes you here the sound of it but you don't
know where it comes from(John 3:8). You see the children of God living
a good life. You see them save under very difficult circumstances.
What's with them? It the Jesus they are in a relationship with. That
saves them. The Holy Spirit that comforms them to the commands of God.
And because of their relationship with Jesus where they fail Jesus
becomes their fulfilment.
So it is Jesus the one to make peace with and get to Heaven. He is not
far but as far as your trust in Him and your confession, in really
speaking to Him, in realising your short falls and really asking Him
to save you. To change your flesh by the Spirit. Did not John the
Baptist say, Jesus will baptise by the Holy Spirit? It falls within
His power to do so.
