Currently studying for a Graduate Certificate in Greek at an accredited seminary. Two classes down, two more to go. When completed with this, I plan to continue to study of Greek.

Hey Eagle guy. In my LONG and illustrious Air Force career, 😆 I was in Germany, where part of our job, was to train NATO, host nation Air Force pilots in the construction of instrument flight procedures. Once, we had 3 Greek Air Force pilots come for training. I thought, here is my chance. I showed them numerous Greek words and phrases, and asked them if the English translation was good. They said yes, the translations were good. I can't remember any of them, except where Jesus said it is finished (John 19:30) They said, whatever job He had been assigned to do, he accomplished it. Very enlightening.

Awesome story and they were right. And the way the Greek is set up it indicates Jesus is the One Who has finished His “job” without any help from anyone else....and that the sacrifice He made on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins continues to this very day.
