ABOUT EUDAIMONIA

“Eudaimonia” is a word from classical Greek that is generally attributed to Aristotle and means “human flourishing.” When Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came that we might have “life to the full,” that is eudaimonia. When Jeremiah tells the exiles to seek the peace and prosperity of the city (and pray for it), that is eudaimonia (Jer. 29:7). When the kings of the earth bring their glory to the heavenly city illumined by the glory of the Son, that is eudaimonia (Rev. 21:24). When the peoples of this earth know justice, goodness, forgiveness, reconciliation and the blessings of God that reach as far as the curse is found, we will all know eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is mostly about restored relationships and joyful reunions. The unbridled joy of my bride seeing our son for the first time in six weeks after seeing him off to university, captures a moment of eudaimonia.
