When visited by the religious leader, Nicodemus, Jesus did not immediately assure him of heaven. Instead, Christ said, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again” (John 3:3).
Wakati alitembelewa na kiongozi wa dini, Nikodemo, Yesu hakumwakikishia mbunguni papo hapo. Badala, Kristo alisema, “Amini, amini, nakuambia, Mtu asipozaliwa mara ya pili, hawezi kuuona ufalme wa Mungu” (Yohana3:3).
