What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
We are here to educate students on who God is, what He’s done and will do, and how to follow God’s word throughout their lives, not just while they are in our classrooms. Instilling this in them will help guide them to salvation so they can spend forever with Him in Heaven after their lives here on earth are finished.
-
We are working to prepare students for an eternity with God, to do this, we have to help them know God in the here and now.
-
Part of classical Christian education is educating the WHOLE child: mind, body, and soul. We are not just teaching them to pass the grade, or to be productive members of society, but to prepare them for eternity with the Lord. Every time I think of this, I am humbled by the calling God has placed on my life.

When you teach a child, you are not just teaching them for the hear and now, but for the rest of there life. When the lecturer mentions that a teacher will educate a student for eternity, she is referring too the moral compass, as well as the knowledge. As Christian educators what is taught in the course will also carry over to adulthood, because the classroom is more then just about the books. It also teaches how to manage emotions and a Christian teacher can be that example of how to handle those feelings for the rest of their life.

I feel the lecturer is saying that what we do/teach them will help them along this Christian journey. As we teach them about who they are, where they come from, and what the future holds should make them excited to know Him and to tell others about Him.
