A Changed Life

Nicodemus didn't understand when Jesus said he had to be born again to enter His kingdom.

We may not understand the mystery of how God changes a person's heart when they believe, but when they are born again we see the evidence.

Years ago when I worked in the VA Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic, a patient called me repeatedly, complaining and cussing about his back pain, his appointments, and the system. It seemed I was to blame for all his problems. 

One day I shuddered when I saw he was coming to clinic. To my surprise, he checked in with a pleasant attitude. His appearance had drastically changed, and I wasn't sure if it was the same man.

"You look different," I said.

He smiled. "I got saved."

As he told me his experience, we rejoiced together. He apologized for treating me bad on the phone.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
