John 3:1-8

{ THE SEED } What comes to mind when you read this ordinary word?
born
{ THE SPROUT } How does the word change when part of the Gospel phrase?
born from above
{ THE PLANT } How is God speaking to you today?
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

{ THE BEFORE } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel setting?
There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”
{ THE AFTER } Does God’s message change knowing the Gospel conclusion?
“The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
