second birth

Hail the heav'n born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings,

Ris'n with healing in His wings

Mild He lays His glory by,

Born that man no more may die;

Born to raise the sons of earth

Born to give them second birth

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", 3rd stanza

Charles Wesley, 1739

Born to give them second birth, just as Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:3

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

I am hoping to post several posts of the last few days. 

Rejoice!
