are not known TO those without.
Many to-day are like the ruler OF
the Jews. who came to Jesus by

CHS religious teacher marveled great
ly when told."Ye must be born again"
Christ did not describe the spiritual
birth, he only compared 1t TO the
blowing Of the windNo moreal tongue
has ever been able 10 explain the
miracle transacted IN the soul by

The words that Jesus spoke to Mic
