Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0953A recorded on December 2, 1984 teaching from John 3:8 – Born of the Spirit.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens analyzes John 3:8, where Jesus compares being born of the Spirit to the wind, to explain the Holy Spirit’s nature and work to Nicodemus. The wind, like the Spirit, is sovereign, irresistible, irregular, invisible, and inscrutable, signifying the Spirit’s uncontrolled power that transforms lives and overcomes opposition. Ultimately, the wind represents the indispensable nature of the Spirit, which is necessary for spiritual life, revival, and empowerment, always pointing back to Jesus Christ.
