What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
I think that educate students for eternity means to try everyday to do our best as teachers and educators.
To help students to understand who they are and where they are gong by making good decision for their future.
Teaching for eternity means that as Christian educators we made a good impact in their life and we made difference
in their life for their future -
To educate students with eternity in mind is the Big picture perspective. Believe that each child will take the information they learned and pass it down from generation to generation in their lineage. Along with showing them the truth so that they will be ready and prepared to share with others wherever they go.

It mean that when we are teaching students and engaging in dialogue we can teach them in a way that connects them to the eternal design set forth by God in the beginning of creation.
-
I take this to mean that we should teach in view of our eternity life. This includes living for God and not ourselves and doing what would please him while here on earth. The goal is to allow the Holy Spirt to work through us to lead students to salvation and an eternal home in heaven.

To educate students for eternity means that we are not simply focusing on the here and now, checking off tasks and aiming for the A or pat on the back to please others. Our goal is to become more and more like Christ. We need to be modeling and teaching what it means to “die” to ourselves in order to be transformed into His image. Using the acronym JOY can help students remember who we should think of and aim to consider first: J: Jesus, O: others, Y: you.
