To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
II. '' Marvel not" — as if it were impossible. III. " Marvel not" — as if it were unnecessary. To begin with the first of these : — I. " Marvel not " — as if it were unintelligible. There is nothing more unintelligible in the world than the /ww a soul is born again. There is nothing more intelligible than that it is. We can understand the fact, however, without neces- sarily understanding the act. The act of being born again is as mysterious as God. All the complaints which have been showered u...pon this doctrine have referred to the act — the act with which we have really nothing to do, which is a process of God, the agency, the unseen wind of the Spirit, and which Jesus Himself has expressly warned us not to expect to understand. '' Thou canst not tell," He said, ** whence it cometh or whither it goeth." But there is nothing to frighten search in this. For precisely the same kind of mystery hangs over every process of nature and life. We do not understand the influence of sunshine on the leaves of a flower at this spring-time any more than we do the mysterious budding of spiritual life within the soul.
