As we pack up our apartment after the first year of seminary en route to Boulder, Colorado, I couldn’t help looking at the stack of notecards that has so graciously adorned the left corner of my desk for the past year. When I look at them, I think of the many hours of study, frustration, and yes, tears.
But, though the roots of language study were bitter, the fruit is already sweet. My loving wife penned this note early in the fall, and it has stuck with me ever since. It was a much needed and constant reminder.
And, finally, I was encouraged by our Hebrew professor, Peter Gentry, that when you go to the Together 4 the Gospel Conference, remember that doing your Hebrew is an essential part of teaching them all that Jesus commanded (Matt. 28:20). It was a good reminder—when you’re parsing verbs and rooting around in a lexicon, you are just as much doing gospel work as when you’re standing on a street corner. Hebrew notecards, meet here for Together 4 the Gospel.
