My favorite bible verse for the longest time has been Romans 8:18. To me, it is a verse for warriors, for superstars, not for the faint of heart. Today I read in a book about the next verse and how this special word was used in the original translation.
Apokaradokia – “eager expectation”
“…it describes the attitude of a man who scans the horizon with head thrust forward, eagerly searching the distance for the first signs of the dawn break of glory. To Paul, life was not a weary, defeated waiting; it was a throbbing vivid expectation.”
“Nonetheless, the Christian does not live only in the world; he also lives in Christ. He does not see only the world; he looks beyond it to God.”
“…the keynote of the Christian life is always hope and never despair. The Christian waits, not for death, but for life.”
So cool, soo cool.
