“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”
John 3:8 (KJV)
Commentary on John 3:8
Jesus uses wind as an analogy for the Spirit's work: 'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.' The same Greek word 'pneuma' means both wind and spirit. The analogy emphasizes sovereign unpredictability—we experience the Spirit's effects without controlling or fully understanding His movements. Regeneration is real but mysterious.
