Day 12 of Happiness
- Ice cream and good conversation
- This afternoon I went out to eat ice cream (even though it was around 20 degrees outside) with my professor and some of the girls from the Honors English class I took first semester my freshman year. I don't have classes with them anymore really because they're all English majors, so I always enjoy our occasional get-togethers. It's nice to catch up with them and the conversation is always great and filled with laughter. And the ice cream was really yummy :)
Bible Reading: John 3:1-21
This is the passage where Nicodemus comes to talk with Jesus. I really liked this passage and I even read it twice. It just makes a lot of sense, even thought it is talking about the kind of abstract concept of being "born again." Jesus tries to explain to Nicodemus about how the Holy Spirit can give new life from heaven.
I found a lot of the verses very full of truth. I thought I'd share a couple.
- "'The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.'" --John 3:5
- "'I assure you, I am telling you what we know and have seen, and yet you won't believe us. But if you don't even believe me when I tell you things that happen here on earth, how can you possibly believe if I tell you what is going on in heaven?'" --John 3:11-12
- "'There is no judgement awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God. Their judgement is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished. But those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants.'" --John 3:18-21
