I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe , how than will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?John3:12
Jesus spoke to a renowned pharisee in the middle of the night to try and explain to Him the purpose of the kingdom and how there is only one way to make it in. I tell you the truth no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.John 3:5. Jesus was explaining that unless you are baptized (water) in the Spirit there is no way you will be able to understand how and what it requires to make it in to the Kingdom. The pharisees prided themselves on knowing the law and they did that because they knew mans law can always be manipulated, but with God He is Truth and there could be no manipulating or controlling Him. Without being born again(natural reasoning) they could understand that Jesus had power to heal, cast out and feed and etc, but they didn't recognize thatJesus was the power. (How many times have we done this?)They knew the Law, but because they were not willing to be born again and renew their minds they missed to see the God of the Law.How many times have we missed extending love ,grace , compassion, repentance , forgiveness, etc, because the Law required a witch hunt or prosecution, burn them at the stake, Crucify them! Did We ourselves miss the Kingdom?Selah. Jesus said to Nicodemus , "If you don't understand the earthly things " . What earthly things do we think we understand and its causing us to miss the Kingdom?(sex, drugs, money, relationships)we believe we know the Law of these but lets let our minds be baptized in the Spirit and see if there are some areas where we have told God I Know The Law and have missed the Kingdom and its King. Repent For The Kingdom of God Is At Hand.
