The New Birth of Water and the Spirit
John 3:4-8
Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?…


As out of the dry wheat one mass or one loaf cannot be made without moisture, so neither could we be made one in Christ Jesus without the water of the Spirit which is from heaven. And as dry earth, except it receive moisture, bears no fruit, so we also, being in the first place a dry tree, could never have become fruitful of life without being watered by the Spirit from above.

(T. H. Leary, D. C. L.)
