Happy Easter to all

Jesus is risen!
The Lord is risen indeed!

At church this morning we said
Christ is risen!
response: El resucito!

I would have liked it to be something like Verdado resucito! But they didn't ask me.

MP spoke on John 20. We have been using this as the basis for out Greek translations lately. I wonder if they knew that this part of the course would be in the spring around Easter. I'll bet they did. Three major verbs in Greek do not get introduced until now, one means "give", one means "put" or "place" and one means "stand".

The "give" verb is often used to describe Jesus giving his life. And "put" or "place" is often used in a similar way. When Jesus describes himself as the Good Shepherd the verb "put" is used to describe how he puts himself between the sheep and the wolf. In a similar way the verb "stand" is used, to stand between us and God as intercessor.

So while MP was speaking on John 20 I was thinking of the words in Greek. I could remember some of them but not all.

College baseball is going into its final weeks. I will miss the next three weeks of Life Group, the first is at home, the next two will be at nearby towns, Huntsville and College Station. Then I should be back for a while. CL took it well, as well as she could, bless her heart. She will be fine.
