TALK: Consider some of these ideas:
Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” (John 3:3)
A Jewish leader seeks Jesus under cover of night to ask him the questions which plague his mind, safe from the criticism of his colleagues. What he gets is an education in keeping things hidden.
- In baptism, we die to the old self to be born anew.
- What needs to die within you so that God can create new life there?
- Wonder: What would I ask Jesus if I could meet him in the middle of the night?
PRAY: Light of the World, nothing can be hidden from you. Shed light on all the corners of our lives, and make us honest to bring our whole selves to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BLESS: May God give you new life. Amen.
