This is Max Locato. The Spirit is like the wind. Had Jesus stopped with this comment,

Nicodemus would have had plenty to ponder. Yet Jesus went on to stretch the imagination of Nick

and Max and all people who have tried to quarry the jewels that follow.

And so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.

That which is born of a vegetable is a vegetable,

that which is born of a dog is a dog,

and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.

That is to say, we have his wind, his unseen power within us.

We host the mystery and majesty of God.

Stop and think about something you struggle to do.

Forgiving an enemy, solving a problem, breaking a habit.

You can't do it?

The Spirit can. And you have the force of heaven's wind within you.
