Today finished just smashingly. A nice pleasant walk along 'Stink River' (a not-so-affectionate name!), some time together at home, and the weight of my New Testament 2 essay lifted from my shoulders :)
These last few days have been pretty wall-to-wall wrestling with the role of the law in Romans (the topic of my essay). It's been a great ride: lots of learning, good discussions with mates, I've read some really helpful stuff. But I'm sure glad to have that assessment piece 'in the box'.
Which means these books can go back to the shelf!... or library :)
I also preached at church last Sunday on John 1:1-18. Once again I found myself really humbled by the truth, in that passage, that God has come into this world as a human being. That is a staggering truth whose ramifications are enormous for us muddle-headed, self-obsessed, God-ignoring humans. Anyway... best not to get me started! After all, I have about 30mins of material on the subject ;)
That just leaves a Philosophy exam, next Friday, between me and holidays. Thankfully my study group will be back in full-swing to make sure we all get through! I love those guys.

Well done!
I saw Colin Kruse today...
Nice, John!
If you get the chance, please give him my thanks for writing his book, 'Paul, the Law and Justification'
