“By faith in
(Jesus') name, His name has made this man strong, whom you see and know.” (Acts
3:16a HCS)

My father, World War II |
My family tree is filled with branches of
strong men. The world may define strength by ones success, power, or physical
stature; but God measures strength according to ones faith in His Son, Jesus
Christ.

Have
you ever heard of a man named Nicodemus?
Well, one night long ago, a Pharisee
(a powerful religious leader in those days) named Nicodemus came secretly to
Jesus. Jesus told him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you are born again
you cannot see the kingdom of God.” In other words, you’ll never see heaven. Imagine that, a religious leader missing heaven!
Amazed, Nicodemus
asked, “How can one be born again?”
Jesus explained that everyone is born
physically but to be born again you
must be born spiritually by believing in Him.
“For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish but have eternal life” (John 3:1-16).
"For this is will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him, will have eternal life, and I Myself will
raise him up on the last day."
(John 6:40)
God does the rebirthing: He forgives you, cleans away your
sins, and gives you forever after, never-ending life with Him. His free gift of
new birth isn’t deserved and can’t be earned; but by believing and
trusting
Jesus, you can have it.
Have you been born again? I pray
that today you will ask Father God for rebirth through faith in the name of
Jesus and become
a strong man or woman of God!
