The key to unity is having one spirit and one mind, striving together for the gospel.

This document discusses Jesus telling Nicodemus about the necessity of being "born again" or "born from above" through faith in Jesus and the Holy Spirit in order to gain eternal life.

Matthew 5:38-48 discusses how Jesus teaches his followers to respond with generosity and grace towards those who insult, persecute, or hate them, rather than seeking revenge. Specifically, Jesus instructs his followers to "turn the other cheek" and "go the extra mile" when wronged, rather than retaliate as their natural, cultural response might be. His ultimate message is that Christians should love and pray for even their enemies, engaging others with a focus on their eternal souls rather than defending their own earthly rights.
Jesus saw a blind man and had compassion for him. He healed the man's blindness by making mud with his saliva and applying it to the man's eyes, instructing him to wash in the pool of Siloam. When the man did so, he was able to see. Though at first the man only recognized Jesus as the man called Jesus, he came to acknowledge him as a prophet and one sent from God who performed a miracle, and ultimately called him the Son of Man and Messiah.
