During Lent we journey with all those around the world who will
be baptized at the Easter Vigil. In today’s gospel Jesus tells Nicode
mus that he must be born of water and Spirit. At the font we are a
given a new birth as children of God. As God made a covenant
with Abraham, in baptism God promises to raise us up with Christ
to new life. From worship we are sent forth to proclaim God’s love
for all the world.
