03/12 - Encounters With Jesus: A Pharisee at Midnight

 Encounters with Jesus: A Pharisee at Midnight
 John 3:1-17

Just as Jesus entered into this world as a helpless infant, so do we enter into the Kingdom of Heaven by the grace and mercy of God, helpless to deliver ourselves into a new birth.  This vulnerability before God is dificult for some, especially the "accomplished" who are accustomed to trusting in their own efforts and maintaining control.
