Knowing that mankind is fallen gives a teacher fresh perspective on what they are trying to accomplish. We naturally are selfish and promote our own interests. When students (or even teachers) do this, we should not be surprised. However, this is an opportunity for us to show a better way. Sometimes that will involve discipline or rebuke, but it must always be done in love and with the desire to restore that person.

I say that I am in touch with my desperation and utter need of Jesus. Because of this grace that I require, I’m able to extend that to students.

Is has impact my classroom in the way that I have to discipline my students for their behavior. I tried to nurture students and remind them that following the fruit of the Spirit will make us better students and educators.

Mankind’s fallen nature impacts my work in the classroom by allowing me to understand that myself and my students will fall into sin. Just like Jesus, we must be patient and grasp the fruit of the Spirit. Sharing the gospel and modeling Jesus’s likeness will help my students to confess their sins to God and come back to Christ through his forgiveness.
