Jesus said, "Truly, truly, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." But what does that mean? What does being "born again" look like? Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City has began posting a series of video portraits, highlighting the new birth stories of New Yorkers from within their own congregation.
The portrait above is of Alan Kleinberg, a man who spent his younger years working as a photographer and music video/ film producer. I was taken by his story, not because it tells of a miraculous conversion experience, but that because of the rather ordinary way he felt God changing him from within has he received a Bible as a gift and tried to dealt with the loss of loved ones, including his wife. We don't hear these kinds of stories enough in church today and as a result we tend to focus on what God accomplished in the lives of disciples rather than of work God is doing today all around us. I pray that this work from Redeemer inspires others to share their stories of how God is still at work in our day.
