The hope of eternal life

Jesus speaks to Nicodemus in today’s gospel about being born of the Spirit and of being born from above. He is speaking of our birth into Christ through the waters of baptism. In baptism, we become a new creation in Christ. We learn to live by the Spirit and to be inspired by the Christian way of life. Our belief in Jesus risen from the dead gives us the hope of eternal life.
