In John 3, Messiah says to Nicodemus, "You must be born again." Nicodemus says, "But how can I? Can a man go back into his mother's womb and be born?" The word for womb is rechem. That's also the word from which we get the word mercy, racham or rachamim. Rechem is linked to the womb and the womb is linked to mercy. Nicodemus is saying how can a man go back to his mother's womb. You can't do that; the womb is the beginning place. There is nothing before the womb. But it's such a beautiful picture of God's mercy, a rechem. You can't enter a womb, but you can enter God's mercy, His rechem, His rachamim. God's mercy is like a womb that brings forth a new birth. Everything becomes new in God's mercy. You become born again, and sins are washed away. There is no past. It doesn't matter what you've done; God's mercy is the rechem that makes all things completely new. And you can't go back into the past, because you can enter the rechem, the womb of God's mercy, and which all things are new like a newborn baby.
From Message #408 - Rachamim
Enter into the racham of God, as if entering a womb, let everything become new in His mercy.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 | John 3
