...not much. I'm a bit out of it today, as I made a late night (early morning?) trip to the main chapel on campus...just had stuff on my mind to hand over to God. I thought of canceling job searching today, but I'm not feeling tired *yet*, so shall continue the applying. I will be surprised if I ever discover a nursing home/hospital within 20 miles of campus that I have not looked into for applying.
Anyways, let's talk happy thoughts. Gospel of John is amazing...as always. Greek words are so rich with meaning! One of my favorite points we talked about in class today was Jn 1:5 (the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.). We took the phrase "Darkness has not _____ it (light)" by itself and looked at the Greek verb katalambanein. This verb has three possible meanings: 1) to receive or accept; 2) to overtake or overcome; or 3) to grasp or comprehend. Now, if you fill in anyone of these meanings in the blank, suddenly you can see how any one of them can work...darkness can not accept/receive light, it could not overcome light, and it could not comprehend light. Woah! Talk about meanings on multiple levels! It got even more fascinating as we related light to Logos and salvation and all that good stuff. Basically awesome.
Alright, time to peace out and look for some employment. Blessings to you!
Oh my goodness. Just a wee bit of envy for you getting to study the Biblical languages. So. Very. Cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's so awesome! I am definitely considering taking the New Testament Greek course at some point.
