Finding Zoē | Rev Yoel Ben David

Greek has two common words for “life.” Day-to-day, living organisms all exhibit “bios” (where we get the words “biology” and “biography”). But humans especially were made to experience something more fulfilling–a rich and unending kind of life that Jesus calls “Zoē” (later adapted as a common girl’s name). The “life” that Jesus offers us is the latter kind, and good it is for us to find it in his own self-giving love! Readings: Psalm 34:9-14; Ephesians 5:15-20; John 6:51-58
