“The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it,
but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
– John 3:8 (NRSVue)
Activity
Ponder this poetic and mysterious saying of Jesus and wonder how being like the wind is characteristic of people who are born of, or participate in, God’s Holy Spirit.
Find a way to experience wind or feel the movement of air. If it’s windy, go outside for a few moments. If you are in a building with forced air, hold your hand over a vent. If you have a fan, turn it on and sit in front of it for a minute. What does it feel like? How does it affect you?
How do we know when the wind is at work?
