Gen Z: John 3
1There was this dude from the Pharisees, Nicodemus, a total ruler of the Jews, no cap.
2So he rolls up to Jesus at night, like, "Rabbi, we know you’re a teacher sent from God, 'cause no one can pull off these miracles unless God’s got their back."
3Jesus hit him with, "For real, for real, you gotta be born again to see the kingdom of God."
4Nicodemus was like, "How can an old dude be born again? Can he just slide back into his mom’s womb?"
5Jesus said, "No cap, you gotta be born of water and the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God."
6What’s born of the flesh is just flesh; what’s born of the Spirit is straight-up spirit, periodt.
7Don’t trip that I said you gotta be born again.
8The wind vibes wherever it wants, you hear it but can’t see where it’s coming from or going; that’s how it is for everyone born of the Spirit.
9Nicodemus was like, "How is this even possible?"
10Jesus replied, "You’re a master of Israel and don’t get this stuff? That’s sus."
11For real, for real, we’re spitting facts here, but y’all just not vibing with our truth.
12If I’m dropping knowledge about earthly stuff and you’re not feeling it, how you gonna vibe with the heavenly deets?
13No one’s been to heaven except the one who came down from there, the Son of Man, who’s still chilling up there.
14Just like Moses lifted that serpent in the desert, the Son of Man gonna be lifted up too, no cap.
15So anyone who believes in him won’t fade away but will have that eternal life, periodt.
16God loved the world so much that he sent his only Son, so anyone who believes in him won’t perish, but will have that forever life.
17God didn’t send his Son to roast the world; he sent him so the world could get saved, fr.
18Whoever believes in him isn’t getting judged, but if you don’t believe, you’re already sus because you’re not repping the name of God’s only Son.
19Here’s the tea: light came into the world, but people were like, “Nah, we love the darkness,” because their actions were shady.
20Everyone doing evil is low-key hating on the light and staying away from it so their actions don’t get called out.
21But if you keep it 100, you’ll vibe with the light, showing everyone your good deeds, all God-approved.
22Then Jesus pulled up with his crew to Judea, chilling and baptizing.
23John was out here baptizing in Ænon near Salim 'cause there was mad water, so people came through to get baptized.
24Just so you know, John wasn’t locked up yet.
25A question popped up between some of John’s homies and the Jews about cleansing vibes.
26They rolled up on John, like, "Yo, that dude you were with by the Jordan, the one you hyped up? He's baptizing now, and everyone’s going to him."
27John was like, "No cap, a dude can’t get anything unless it’s given from heaven."
28You guys know I’ve said, "I’m not the Christ, just the hype man before him."
29The dude with the bride is the bridegroom; the friend who hears him is just vibing hard, and my joy is full because of him.
30He’s gotta pop off, while I gotta chill out.
31Dude from above is on top of everything: the earth peeps are just earthly and talkin’ basic, but the one from heaven is straight up goated.
32He’s seen and heard some next-level stuff, but no one’s vibin’ with his testimony.
33If you’re on the receiving end of his testimony, you’re lowkey confirming that God is true, no cap.
34The one God sent is spittin’ straight fire from God; He doesn't hold back the Spirit at all.
35The Father’s all about the Son and has handed over everything to him, periodt.
36Whoever believes in the Son is living that eternal life; but if you’re not vibin’ with the Son, you’re missing out on life, and God’s wrath is chillin’ on you.
