John 3:8-10

Illustration of John 3:8-12 NLT -- [Jesus said to Nicodemus,] "The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit.""How are these things possible?" Nicodemus asked.Jesus replied, "You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don't understand these things? I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won't believe our testimony. But if you don't believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things?"

Illustration of John 3:8 NIV -- [Jesus continued,]  "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.
