How. ( Proverbs 3 v 5 - 6 )

.In John 3 a very religious person came to see Jesus,he was a  man called Nicodemus, he belonged to the very strict group of people called the Pharisees, and they were part of the ruling class in Israel.He wanted to know more about Jesus,but he it did in secret visiting him at night.He  acknowledged that Jesus was a teacher,that means one who taught the things of God to the people,an expert in the religious law.Now  one of the the first things Jesus said was,that a person needs to be born again,and as he listened ,he used the word how  twice..Jesus said to him ,''you are Israel's teacher.. and you do not understand these things?''.It stuck me that 'how', is very important to so many people , take the J Ws ,when one tells them a spiritual truth , they say how this and how that ,the fact is they have no spiritual understanding,they have not got the Holy Spirit within them. To them the trinity does not make sense,and they do what natural man will do ,lean upon there own understanding.If we are gong to know God we have to nail our ,'How's ', to the cross,and by faith accept Christ as ones Saviour,then everything will become clear,you see, faith is beyond reason.
