I like Fr. Simon's reason why Jesus told Nicodemus: "You must be born of water and the Spirit." Although I knew that "Lord" is a code word in Hebrew, Adonai, represented by the vowels A-O-A and that God's unspeakable name is represented in Hebrew by the letters Y-H-W-H. But, I did not know that "Jehovah" is what you get if you put A-O-A together with Y-H-W-H and, until about 500 years ago, the word "Jehovah" never existed! I learn something new every day! But, this sermon has so much more!!!
