Nicodemus was searching for the truth and had the courage to ask questions, even if it was at night when few would notice. Many do not have the courage to reach beyond themselves to seek help with the hole in their hearts. Jesus was approachable and Nicodemus knew where to find Him. Being born again is a mystery that is beyond psychology, sociology and biology. Jesus the Creator of the universe makes it all happe if we respond to what He is saying to us.
“We are nearly always longing for an easy religion, easy to understand and easy to follow; a religion with no mystery, no insoluble problems,no snags; a religion that would allow us to escape from our miserable human condition; a religion in which contact with God spares us all strife, all uncertainty,all suffering and all doubt; in short, a religion without a cross.” - Paul Tournier
