Nicodemus replied, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you don’t understand these things? I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I have told you people about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” (John 3:9-15) ... The discussion continues here regarding being born again, and how ill-equipped the Jewish teachers are to be setting the tone for faith in God. Becoming a new creation is foundational to living for God, because it is God who must lead us. Entrenched in hypocrisy and wrong interpretations of biblical truths, many of the Jewish teachers are unable to receive truth that fully depends upon the power of God for fruition. Even more, to confirm Jesus speaks on another level, He begins to speak prophetically about how He will offer salvation and eternal life to all.
