Life, living, existence. Zoe. I am the way the truth and the life. Zoe is divine life, not biological existence. It is the life of God shared with human beings through Christ.

The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.

Hope, expect, confide. Elpizō. We are saved in hope, and hope that is seen is not hope. Anchor your expectation in what God has promised, not what you can see.

To be, to exist. Eimi. When God names himself I AM, he uses this word. Existence itself belongs to him. Ground your identity in the one who simply is.

Only, alone, solitary. Monos. Man shall not live by bread alone. The deepest hungers of life cannot be satisfied by material things. Only God can fill what God shaped.

Pitiable, miserable, worthy of pity. Eleeinós. The Laodicean church thought itself rich while Christ called it wretched and pitiable. Self-sufficiency blinds. Examine yourself honestly.

All, every, whole, any. Pas. All things work together for good. All authority has been given to Me. All the promises of God are yes in Christ. God thinks in absolutes of blessing.
