Greek : A Dream Come True

A decade ago, as a young seeker and lover of the Lord, I was undergoing a two-years full time training at Chennai in India. The revelation of the word in the Bible through the help of the ministry of the age in the Lord's recovery was so profound. Words would not suffice to describe the feeling I had and the joy of understanding the Lord's heart's desire in this age. Every class, to me, was an unveiling of revelation after revelation. The truths were not merely objective, but very simply subjective and were experienced right away, at least in part, here a little, there a little. After every class I would go through it again, study, memorize, recite and pray over it again. Many times, I would turn the truths I learned and enjoyed into my prayers and composed hymns out of it and later, sang them to the Lord in praise and worship for His marvelous speakings and doings. O what a blessing!

This love for the Lord and His word incited me to learn my "Father tongue" in which the New Testament Bible was originally written. As a trainee then, I reckoned it deemed that a class on Greek be introduced. One day I fellowshiped with a responsible brother for the same. But to my dismay, the answer was that due to the lack of qualified teacher for Greek class it was not even an option to think or dream about. Nevertheless, I determined to learn all by myself using all the Greek study materials I could lay hold of. However, due to lack of proper curriculum and schedule, consistency was a far cry. The result, a picking up and dropping it over and over again and I could never advanced beyond merely learning the Greek alphabet.

A decade after, the Lord finally opened the door for Greek class. Now, the time is perfect, with the burden to bring out the Recovery Version Bible before 2020 into some major Indian languages. LSM has graciously started a special online Greek class. Though there were some starting problems, once the "engine" started, the rest is applying the right "gear" and "accelerator" on a timely manner. Thus far, I have learned the basic of Greek, just beginning to read and write. In fact, the desire to learn Greek, is becoming a dream come true. 

The Lord may grace me to learn it well, fully and thoroughly, and indeed make this learning GREEK, a dream come true.
