Pastor Taylor Shippy - Luke 7:11-17
Splagchnizomai (σπλαγχνίζομαι)
A funny sounding, ancient Greek word that is almost always reserved for Jesus. As a matter of fact, splagchnizomai is so rare in the Greek New Testament that it appears only in the Synoptic Gospels (x14 times). And out of the three, Luke uses splagchnizomai the most sparingly—just three times in his entire Gospel (cf. Lk 7:13; 10:33; 15:20).
But what if splagchnizomai holds part of the secret to the easy yoke Jesus was talking about?
