- Jesus told the fishermen, Simon and Andrew, that he would make them “fishers of men”.
- Jesus told Nicodemus, the man who found his identity in his lineage, that he needed to be “born again”.
- Jesus told the woman at the well, that she needed “living water”.
The leader could borrow those terms and try to apply them… or the leader can follow the example of Jesus and find a way to connect God’s story to that person’s story, in a powerful way.
In our talk about being “Born Again”, we can miss a powerful example about communicating to someone at their place of greatest need.
