Much of Christianity focuses on rebirth.
Jesus was born a human birth, we are born-again. The disciples left the lives the had built. They were not children they were men who had spent their lives carving out a future for themselves then they had to start all over as they began a new life following Jesus.
Time and again we're presented with someone who starts over and begins anew. Often this is for their better such as Paul or Moses or their reborn into a life of suffering like Cain.
Rebirth is a profound notion. This is more than the idea that every day is a chance to get it right. Rebirth implies starting over, you begin again naked and confused. You have to be willing to give it all up and start over.
You have to come back into the world with nothing, completely dependent on your Heavenly Father.
