Dr.Klein's Biblical Greek Class has been studying and working on translating a text this past week.
They are so excited to be able to read even a small portion (for some a larger portion) of the text in the original language. It really does my heart good to see the amount of study many of them are putting into it. Their Greek text books are becoming ragged already. They poor over the charts. If a person has a desire to learn and look into the things of Jesus that desire births more desire and the end is a greater revelation of who He is. That is what studying the Word of Jesus is about. In the book of John we see the scripture reading:
John 1:1 [KJV]
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
If the Logo's was in the beginning and that same Logo's was with God and that same Logo's was God and we want to know more about Him we can read his thoughts every day of the week. In doing so we will have a greater revelation and deeper knowledge of who He is. The next step after knowledge is then application.
We need to do as the Word says in
Rom 2:13 [KJV]
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Jas 1:22 [KJV]
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Knowledge is great and Revelation is great but even greater is application.
Jas 1:25 [KJV]
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Be blessed in applying the Word of Jesus to your life.
