YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN
John 3:7
Broken, weeping, the character Ebenezer Scrooge returns from his enlightenment at the hands of the Ghost of Christmas Future, a changed man. How it takes me back to that room in which I lived in Fort Lauderdale, lo those many years ago. When I wept and grieved over what I had done to Jesus on that Cross and poured out my agony and my pain and my frustration and my anger and my loneliness. I wasn't created to be out of fellowship with God. He created me to love Him. And He created me to be loved by Him. And He created me to share with others that there is such a thing as love. It's not fake. It's not a game. It's not a method to obtain something from someone else. It's pure and it's holy and it's real. And it's a gift from God. I can't earn it, I can't buy it, I can't do something to make Him feel obligated to give it to me. I can only receive it. And that is enough. Because in the receiving is my salvation. Jesus already accomplished; I must receive. I must be born again.
I think back now on that event that ushered me in to the Kingdom of God. And it breaks me now just to think about it. Oh how broken I was on that day. Oh how desperate. Jesus meets you in the midst of that desperation and He presents you clean and holy to His Father. Only now, it's not just His Father. It's our Father because we are one. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. You have at your fingertips eternal life. You have within your grasp, the infinite. But there's something you need to do, if that day has so far eluded you. You must be born again.
