Jesus and Nicodemus

There is a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a Jewish officer. Because of the special status, he did not dare openly to Jesus, but to call late at night. He said to Jesus: "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God to do, because you have done miracles, if there is no God, and no one can do

Jesus said: "Truly I tell you, unless one is born again, he can not see the kingdom of God."
"People have been old, how it can be born again? Is his mother's womb and be born again into it? 'Nicodemus asked.
"I tell you," Jesus said, "Man, if not born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God born of the flesh is flesh: born of the Spirit, that I mean creatures. you must be born again, you do not feel strange. the wind blows, you hear the voice of the wind, but do not know the wind came from, where to go. whosoever is born of the Spirit is true. "
Nicodemus asked: "how can this be?"

Jesus said: "You are the chief of Israel, and knowest not these things do I tell you, we are talking about, that we do not know:? We did witness before, that we have seen: you receive not our witness earthly things I said to you, and you do not believe:? If I speak of heavenly things, how can we believe it is still down from heaven except the Son of man in heaven, no one has ascended into heaven Moses how wilderness lifted up the serpent, the Son of Man must be lifted up as usual, that whosoever believe in Him have eternal life. '

Jesus mean, who wants to enter the kingdom of heaven, it must undergo the baptism of water and the Spirit of the mind with God. Nicodemus was not acutely aware of the meaning of Jesus' words in, so just secretly admire. Until after Jesus' death and resurrection, Nicodemus was publicly acknowledged that he is a Christian
