John 3:8. The wind bloweth -
That is, the Spirit bloweth -
John 3:8. Where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.
This is a great mystery, and our Saviour connected it with the most mysterious thing in the whole realm of nature, - the wind, - a thing which has never been seen, and which must remain a mystery to us, at least while we are upon the earth. Christ uses this mysterious force as an emblem of the Holy Spirit, and of those who are "born of the Spirit."
