Answer: There was a time when Jesus spoke to the preceptor Nicodemus about the issue of reincarnation, which surprised Nicodemus, prompting him to ask how a person could be born again from their mother’s womb after dying. Jesus confirmed the existence of reincarnation, explaining that what He saw and knew was very abstract, beyond the perception of ordinary humans, much like the invisible wind that comes and goes unseen. Later, missionaries found this concept difficult to understand and reinterpreted Jesus’ notion of reincarnation as being reborn into faith in God for easier comprehension. However, initially, Jesus referred to reincarnation in the literal sense, as Nicodemus specifically asked about being born again from the mother’s womb.

Indeed, a single human life is too short for the full operation of the Law of Karma. The fair and just Law of Karma requires multiple lifetimes to unfold, necessitating continuous rebirth. Some karma created in this life may take five lifetimes to manifest because the current life does not have enough necessary conditions for its fruition.
