From a sermon I preached six years ago, also in Year A, at the Easter Vigil, tying up all the themes from the previous Sundays' gospel lessons:

'Like Nicodemus, we have come to Jesus by night and we are learning how to be born again. Like the Samaritan woman at the well, we receive living water springing up in us to eternal life, and we are learning how to call our friends and neighbours to see this man who changed our lives. Like the man born blind, our eyes have been opened, and we are learning how to recognize Jesus as our Saviour. Like Lazarus, Jesus has called us by name, and we are learning how to get up out of the tombs of our indifference to new life in his kingdom. The story goes on and on...'
