What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
Ultimately, salvation is the goal. Education is second.
-
My primary goal is to plant the seeds of salvation in to the lives our students. I have heard it said that raising / teaching children is a difficult job with a finite amount of time that has eternal consequences.
-
We are placed in the life of the student to be an example and point them to Christ with the hopes they trust on Him for their salvation.
-
We are teaching them how to have eternal life. We are not just teaching them things that will affect them only up to a point in their lives, but we’re teaching things that will impact them for all eternity.
-
We are not just teaching our students to prepare them for college, or for after college. We are preparing them for life that will continue after death. We pour into our students to help them know and live for Christ now, but also to point them to the hope of eternal life that awaits those who believe. We are together with parents helping these students learn that God loves them and has intentionally designed this life and eternity with him for them, and how to receive the salvation necessary to be reconciled to God and have access to him in life and after death.
