All right I want you to turn your Bibles to 2 Corinthians chapter one and I'm going to share an Easter message with you called it's true.

It's true. And I'm going to talk about a word that you know, it's a Bible word.

We say it all the time, but I don't think we know the significance of the word. It's the only word that's the same in

Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English.

Now, you might not know the significance of those four languages,

but as a theologian I do, the Old Testament was written in Hebrew,

the New Testament in Greek, Latin is derived from Greek, and

English is derived from Latin.

So this is the only word that's the exact same in all four of those languages.

It's also an international world.

It's the same all over the world.

It's the word, amen.

Now in Hebrew and Greek gets pronounced a mean in Texas it's pronounced a man

But there's something about this word that's important.

When you think about this word, though,

you've probably heard a definition that is an OK layman's definition,

but it's not the literal definition.

So if I ask you, what does Amen mean?

What would you say?

So be it, right? So be it. Okay, just to let you know, if that's

the literal definition, then I think sometimes we misuse the word. Because I have been in church when I've heard a pastor say your

neighbors going to hell. Amen.
