Mark 4:35 Fun
Yesterday, I discovered a new favorite Jesus verse. Talk about being lost in translation! The New International Version (NIV) translates it as “Let us go over to the other side.” So boring, we must wonder why it was ever recorded. But, of course, that it not what Jesus said. Not at all.
What he is says is wonderful and thought provoking. He says it, clearly and plainly:
“We should go through, into the beyond!”
It is a timeless call to adventure. The “beyond” is not a noun, that is, a place, but an adverb, a description of an action. Amazing!
