After Pentecost     Trinity Sunday     John 3:1-17, particularly verses 1-9

Born again (YB No 124)

In darkness he had lived: he journeyed in the night;

Came Nicodemus to be taught some new insight;

And Jesus said to him, “To live in God’s domain,

In spirit and in truth you must be born again.”

 

This Pharisee was stunned; he thought he was misled;

With literal thinking could not hear what Jesus said;

He could not understand; “Such things could never be!”

But birth in Spirit gives us new identity.

 

Our life is then transformed when we give love free reign;

In love we live renewing life in God’s domain;

God’s spirit is within; and wishes to be heard;

Let us, as true disciples, be that sacred word.
