7o WORD OF THE DAY
Today’s word, megaloprepes, doesn’t really sound too majestic. Sure, the prefix “mega” sounds big but what is a loprepes? This Greek adjective is our 6 o of seven ideas related to majestic. Its proper definition is befitting greatness or excellent and the word is used in only one verse.
For he (Jesus) received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2 Peter 1:17
We love the idea that the word glory just wasn’t big enough for Peter to describe God. Instead, he describes God as “the excellent glory.” Powerful angle on the word majestic. Check out the root words that make up today’s word.
