What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
I believe that she is reminding us that not only are we educating the student for the day, school year, life here on Earth, but to think on a larger scale. Our teaching can go beyond math, reading, etc and we have the opportunity to change and effect a child’s eternity by sharing the Word. We are responsible for so much more than subjects in school, but in leading children to God.
-
I understand this t mean that we are created for eternity. Our students must learn to view their lives with an eternal view. It is not simply right here right now. God created our students to spend forever with Him and we need to teach with this vantage point of view.
-
We are not only educating the children for today, but we are setting them up for success and security for their future. A future and a hope that is found in the redemptive work of Christ alone.

I am here to teach my students for eternity means that I am not just teaching my subject matter. I am teaching them skills to use throughout their lifetime. I am imparting biblical truths that will stay with them. I am helping the students process life’s big questions. As I pour in information, I am changing or influencing the students’ worldview.

I am here to prepare our children to meet Jesus and live with Him in eternity.
