The Most Important Word in the Bible |
|
The theologian Karl Barth was asked what was the most important word in the Bible. The great thinker replied, “Hyper.”
You might have thought he would have said, “love,” or agape, but he didn’t. He chose a Greek preposition used in the New Testament meaning “on behalf of,” or “in place of” another.
This is the most important word because it signifies that the death of Jesus was in our place and for us. He died so that we might not have to die spiritually and be eternally separated from God in hell.
Why is this word so important, and why should we remind ourselves of it often?
Jesus Christ died for me. He died on “behalf of” or “in place of” the believer.
