Nicodemus answered and said unto him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thoua master of Israel, and knowest not these things? If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (John 3:9,10,12)

Oh yes, Jesus! Not like any other man. Heavenly originated, earthly manifested, divinely orchestrated, eternally purposed and certainly life changing. "If I have told you earthly things." Here Jesus was  enlightning all of us to the fact that there are heavenly things and earthly things. These earthly things may not be the ones you or I might think them to be. Jesus was reinforcing with Nicodemusthe element of being born again; God's operation in the natural or earthly realm to reveal himself not only as the creator, but a Father. This as a result of the precarious death Jesus would suffer on the cross. Ushering into our soul the existence of a resurrected life to be lived in this our natural earthly body.

Nicodemus's question was on these lines, "How can these things be?" Perhaps there are some asking similar questions today concerning other teachings Jesus enforced; such as: greater works, all things are possible, as I was in the world so shall ye be in the world, I ascend to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God, andye shall receive the Holy Ghost and so on. These are only some of the earthly things between you and your Creator. So then what about heavenly things? How well does the architect of our soul know us!
