Child, servant, boy. Pais. Behold My servant whom I have chosen. The Servant of the LORD came not to be served but to serve. His humility is our model.

This, this one, this person. This is My Son whom I love. With Him I am well pleased. The words spoken over Jesus are spoken over you through your union with Him.

John, Jochanan, "God is gracious." Iōánnēs. The name belongs to prophets, apostles, and the one who baptized Jesus. God's grace runs through every bearer of this name. Live up to it.

To raise up, to awaken, to arouse. Egeiro. He is not here He has risen. The resurrection is the pivot of history. Everything before it points to it. Everything after flows from it.

Dead, lifeless, without power. Nekros. God who gives life to the dead. If God can raise the dead there is nothing in your situation that is beyond His power to restore.

Through, by means of, because of. Dia. God works through circumstances, through people, through suffering itself. Nothing is incidental in his hands.

To work, to be active, to energize. Energeo. It is God who works in you both to will and to act according to His good purpose. He works in us before He works through us.
