Commentary on John 3:8

Theological / Devotional

Wind. Greek pneuma, “spirit,” “breath,” “wind.” Here the latter meaning is obviously intended.

So is every one. Like the wind, the new birth is invisible. The argument that because the new birth is not apparent to the natural eyesight it is therefore a figment of the imagination, is no more valid than it would be if used of the wind. In each case judgment is to be based on the effects produced.
