Pastors often take sarcastic jabs at the study of Greek. Embedded in their sermons, one might hear statements such as “Theologians might know what the Greek verse says, but, praise God, I know the one who said it!” While a personal relationship with Christ certainly outweighs one’s knowledge of the Greek, Jesus never rejoices in our ignorance of the same. In fact, a familiarity with the Greek can greatly deepen one’s knowledge of God. The Greek New Testament belongs neither high on a dusty bookshelf nor in an obscure corner of a dreary library. Instead, it seeks residence in the hearts of those seeking to know its author. God has saddled pastors with the mandate of perfecting the saints in the knowledge of Christ. The Greek contains enormous resources geared toward producing such perfection. Therefore, rather than turning away in ignorance, let us turn in with vigor.
