What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?

How each of us responds to the Gospel has eternal implications. We are gifted with the opportunity to provide students with a learning environment in which God is invited in, one that embodies the fruit of the Spirit Educating, and educates students about the nature of God and His creation – not only theoretically but concretely and experientially.

It means that we have to educate our students about the eternal place that God has for us. We should teach our students that our life in this world is temporary and our future is to live an everlasting life with our Lord and Savior.

According to scripture, man is a spirit because he or she was created by a Spirit (God), and because God is eternal, infinite in power, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding- First and the Last, Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end- each educator is responsible to the generation/era they live in to introduce the God of the Bible to them, since they will live forever, and so that they too will pass it on to the generation they come in contact with.

I believe what the lecturer means when she says, “you are here to educate students for eternity.”, is that we are designed by God to be eternal beings. We as educators need to teach in an eternal perspective. Our focus should always point us to our relationship with Christ.

As I teach, I should see that I am making disciples for Christ, that means it is all about Christ.
