Okay... we're going to do a little lesson in Greek for our SPIRITUAL SUNDAY episode.

That's right!

We're talking about a specific Greek word that's used in Ephesians 3 of the New Testament of the Bible. (It's also tattooed on my right arm!)

The word is: perissou.

Roughy translated... it means: "exceedingly abundantly."

According to linguists and theologians... this word is a rare double compound that's not found in older Greek literature but is found in biblical writings, is an adverb... that means "exceedingly and very highly."

Now... why does THIS word matter?

Well... it's tucked into one of my favorite verses in the Bible... and it speaks to the AMAZING things that can happen in... through... with... and for us... when we start to realize how much God loves us!

Here's the verse: Ephesians 3:14-21

14 For this reason I bend my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner self, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly (or exceedingly... abundantly) beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations [p]forever and ever. Amen.

That's right.

Did you catch it?

The Bible is saying that when we realize how much God loves us (which the scripture also says it's too much for us to understand!)... THEN we can DO MORE than we could hope... dream... or imagine.

EXCEEDINGLY... ABUNDANTLY... more.

How cool is THAT?

Meditate on THAT today.

Just see where it takes you!

Stay encouraged and we'll talk tomorrow.
