The Greatest Conversation in the Bible – Video by Max Lucado

Even for Christians, Max Lucado’s video, The Greatest Conversation in the Bible explains in simple terms the real meaning behind being born again.

In John 3, the Pharisee Nicodemus asks an intriguing question of Jesus;

“Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

Jesus’ simple answer;

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

So, what does it really mean to be born again? Let’s watch the video from Max Lucado and learn more about…

Maybe you’ve heard the phrase “born again” tossed around, but do you truly know what it means?

In this video, Max discusses how the invitation to be born again leads us into a Kingdom in which God himself does the work and generates a miracle within us.

If you’d like to dive deeper into this message, Max’s book 3:16 has been updated with new content and is available wherever books are sold. To learn more:

Reference: Bible Passage from John 3

As I said above, Max Lucado does a wonderful job of explaining what Jesus meant when He talked to Nicodemus.

But, I thought it would be nice to include the passage from John 3 so you can read it here..

“Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old?

He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus responded and said to Him, “How can these things be?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you people do not accept our testimony.

If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

No one has ascended into heaven, except He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.

And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes will have eternal life in Him.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil.

For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.

But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God.” – John 3:1-21 (NASB)

I hope you enjoyed this Bible lesson and the Max Lucado video.

But, don’t just listen; take a moment and reflect upon what Jesus is saying to Nicodemus the Pharisee — and US!

 

In Christ,

Bob

  1. Thank you for this beautiful message. I will continue walking in faith. I lost my job as a social worker for declining the vaccine. This is my testimony. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions lupus and heart disease. I’m a single mother. I have been struggling to provide for my two autistic children. I feel so alone I find it difficult at times. I have been called horrible names even had death threats over my decision to decline the vaccine. It’s so heart breaking. A kind stranger has helped me that is the only reason why I still have my home I’m so thankful. Even though I’m struggling I will continue to have faith in God!

    2. I have just prayed for you, Mousey. Stay encouraged! For our God is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will provide, and Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals! Focus on Matthew 6:33-34. May God bless you abundantly!

    3. You have the right to choose. People can be so mean and that is not living in the spirit of Christ. God will honor you and take care of you. Keep your faith over fear. I will be praying for you my sister in Christ. 🙏

  2. My husband and I have gotten cov”d. We are 69 and 72 years old. I have diabetes and still have it after 2 weeks. We need God’s ultimate healing. In Jesus name. Thank you Love Mark and Jean Masterson

  4. I appreciate you more than I can say. I want to first ask for prayer and then tell you why I appreciate you so very much. My mother, my best friend for over 60 years, graduated into eternity in September. I know I will see her again, but I am feeling the loss of her presence so keenly, I can’t even really eat. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight. I have fibromyalgia, and between losing her and the intense cold (Minnesota!) I am staying in pain. So, I’m asking for prayer for pain relief and to really feel the joy of knowing we will be reunited. Now, why do I appreciate you so much? I’ve had fibromyalgia for about 17 years. It grew out of some trauma, exhaustion, mono … and I was struggling so hard to see and feel the presence of God. Your words were the only lifeline I could find. You pointed to Him. You shined the flashlight in His direction, so that I could walk towards Him again. You helped me hear His words, and climb out of the hold I was in. Thank you for letting the Holy Spirit work in you. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I also anticipate meeting you in eternity. What joy we will find there, as we all gather around Jesus together!

  5. Praying for you Pastor Max Lucado 🙏 and for all of family and all of us in our hearts to be blessed by God to be the Baptist to all of adults children and all of my grandchildren

  6. Prayer request for my Mom, Jacqueline. She has the starting of dementcia. Please pray that she stays otherwise in good health. Thankyou and God Bless. By the way I just opened your book minutes ago “Anxious for Nothing”. then I opened up my youtube, and I got a notification! for this video. Thank you Mr. Lucado.

  8. Walking in faith as we speak — learning the ways of God. I pray for a gentle temperament, for God to continue to fill me with love. I also ask for prayers for my ministry, a beautiful ministry based on creativity, and the many ways we could help people use their Godly gifts and talents for His glory. Interactive. Films. Novels. Books. Stories. Art and entrepreneurship for others, all to glorify our Father in Heaven. Amen.

  10. Please pray for God to strengthen my marriage and our relationship with God as well. Thanks!

  12. For Chris who has something going on in his mind, always depressed and of course thinks he knows it all and always right. I’m concerned that his wife is going to give up and throw him out. He says he knows the Lord (?). He needs the love, light and peace of Jesus in him.

  13. I have anxiety and depression. My husband is disabled and I am his caregiver. I also recently lost my job. Please pray that God will take these burdens from me.

  14. thank you Max for so faithfully serving. I pray for your condition as well, and hope your getting along without problems. I am a nurse for over 40 years! i have wanted to ask for prayer for such a long time. I have a very difficult family situation, my children have abandoned me, one of them for over 10 years. Reading back to myself sounds like pretty hopeless. My daughter must have prayer, she has also abandoned me taking my grandchildren from me as well. I have wanted to ask you for prayers, you always are so willing to help us all. thank you and i will continue to be more like Christ and believe this situation, losing my family, isnt hopeless.

    2. Don’t ever give up believing, don’t forget HE IS ABLE and can STILL OPEN BLIND EYES AND Ears & Save your household. EPH. 3:20

  16. Thank you Max I watch you every day. I need prayer for me and my children my husband left a year ago for another woman and since leaving he has become an angry bully to me and my children and a non believer. Any prayers would help. I’ll make sure to prayer for others who need.

  18. Please be in prayer for myself, a public school teacher, and my relationship with the principal at my school.

  19. Beautiful explanation of the Greatest story(TRUTH) ever told. I have been a Christian 36 yrs & never heard such a simple explanation of this verse. I also like SO LOVED….we are despicable sinners that God’s ♡ will not turn from, He is amazing like his grace. 😍

  20. Please pray that my daughter Kelly and her boyfriend Bill will both get their mobility back. They are both disabled and have recently had surgery that is preventing them from walking with their walkers. Thank you for always encouraging me with your books and messages.
