Life is more than the physical, and we know it

Morning: Psalm 25; Genesis 8:6-22; Hebrews 4:14 – 5:6

Evening: Psalms 9, 15; John 2:23-3:15

If you want a full life, it is not enough, says Jesus to Nicodemus, simply to be born. Life is more than our physical being. I know you already know this. Life is Love, Wisdom, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility and Truth. These are the ancient Grandfather / Grandmother teachings – the spiritual teachings – of the Anishnaabek, original inhabitants of the part of Canada I call home. They are about our experience of spiritual ‘birth’ as well as physical birth. This second ‘birth’ comes later in life if we allow it, which is exactly what Jesus is saying to Nicodemus.
