Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of
GOD unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to
flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be
surprised at My saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows
wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it
comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the
Spirit."
"How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.
"You are Israel's teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand
these things?"
** end Bible excerpt **
A Spirit-guided WDJW exegesis of John 3:5-10:
Yes, the concept of salvation through being "born again" of "water and
the Spirit" should have been familiar to Nicodemus because it was
revealed through one of Israel's great prophets ! ! !
"I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I
will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of
flesh. Then they will follow My decrees and be careful to keep My
laws. They will be My people, and I will be their GOD." -- LORD
Almighty GOD (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
Amen.
Yes, Nicodemus, as one of Israel's teachers, should have known and
understood earlier from the writings of the prophet Ezekiel about
salvation through being "born again" of "water and the Spirit." He
did not because ...
"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man
must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal
life." -- LORD Jesus Christ (John 3:14)
Amen.
Jesus is LORD, forever !!!

Hunger is wonderful ! ! !
It's how we know the answer to the question "What does Jesus want?"
(WDJW):
http://WDJW.net
Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/52a3db8576495806?
Hunger is the physical "hearts burning within us" feeling that unlocks
the 4 mysteries of the "Road to Emmaus" adventure described in Luke
24:

Moreover, being hungrier is the key to being Jesus' disciples:

Being physically hungrier is how we will physically recognize Jesus
when He physically returns for us to meet Him physically in the air:
