As a child I attended regularly Sunday School and my favourite part by far was the Bible Quiz, specially because I was really good at it, I guess. It was called "esgrima bíblico" in Spanish. Hence the joke title of this blog post.
Basically this is the way it works: the teacher says the book, chapter and number of a Bible verse and the first student to find it & read it out loud, wins a point.
Also, back in the day, at the end of the month the overall winner won a book. Which is another one of my passions. Well, another two of my passions: books and reading. Just because you like books, physically, doesn't mean that you enjoy reading them. Or maybe it's just me. Well, yeah, I'm weird that way.
Not being the sporty type, I loved teasing my schoolmates on a Monday morning saying that I had won a fencing competition at the weekend. Now that I think of it, it might turn out that I was good at sports as a child, after all!!!!
Anywho (not a typo, it's intended this way!), in recent times in my life during this path of self-discovery or whatever you want to call it, those recurrent themes that I'm finding laid before me keep going back time and time to some of those verses that we use to memorise as children. So I decided to start making note of them as I come across them. Because they are striking a chord with me, with renewed meaning. I now I'm getting musical. Another childhood bitter-sweet symphony. Aghghghrrrrr, I must stop this!
;-)
So here it goes, my first "bring-back-that-verse":
"The truth shall make you free."
John 8:32
"La verdad os hará libres."
Juan 8:32
