“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”” – John 3:3 . “It is possible to rephrase the Lord’s words as follows:’ If you are not born again and if you do not receive fellowship with the Spirit within the baptismal font of renewal then you cannot possess the right thoughts concerning Me. This is because your concept about my body is not spiritual (Titus 3:5) …the word ‘again’ (or from above) is interpreted by some to mean ‘from heaven’ while others find it to convey the meaning of ‘from the beginning.’ The Lord explains that a person not born in this way can possibly see the kingdom of heaven. Here the Lord is pointing to Himself (the Messiah) and proclaims that we need other eyes besides our normal eyes in order to see the Lord Jesus Christ.” – St. John Chrysostom
