The Wind and the Spirit - John 3:8


The wind.  Who doesn’t love a nice gentle breeze?  So refreshing, relaxing, and comforting.  One of the loveliest facets of weather, I think.  This morning I was sitting at a table outside our church fellowship hall where we were discussing John Chapter 5.  A little breeze was stirring.  The left page in my Bible kept blowing over, covering the page we were studying, and I kept flipping it back in place.  Finally, after the page had blown over for the umpteenth time, I looked down to see this note related to John 3:8, “The same Greek word means both wind and spirit.”  My eyes moved up to verse 8 which said, “The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.  It was like God had nudged me and said, “ I have a little nugget for you.  Enjoy.”
