John 3:3...Jesus answered and said "I tell you the truth, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
Rufus read that verse and thought whow, thats mighty strange words there, and, like Nicodemus, he wondered how the heck anyone could be born agin....If Ma had anything to do with it, it sure nuff weren't gonna happen.
Preacher Arnold was glad to explain it to Rufus when he brought it up at meeting come Sunday.
"Well, Rufus, its like this", he said. "Its about you quit living the life of the world and change into your Spirit life that began the moment you let the Holy Spirit into your heart."
Rufus studied a minute and said, "I guess its like Ma smackin' ya over the head with a hard cast iron skillet and you just aint ever the same?"
"Well", head shaking, head scratchin, Preacher said, "uh well sort of, I guess."
Lord we thank you for your loving touch that is a bit less painful than Ma's tender touch, and ask forgiveness that we needed to be walloped in the first place.
