What does the lecturer mean when she says you are here to educate your students for eternity?
-
We are giving students God’s truths that will lead them to a lifetime of searching, finding and holding on to Jesus’ teachings to allow them to have eternity with him.
-
I think she means that while academics are important, the most important role we have is to point our students to Jesus. Knowing him will change their lives more than any of my math lessons.
-
She means we are here to educate them about God and how we live our life for God so we can live with him forever.

To me, educating my students for eternity means I am showing them what their eternity will be. Where will they live in their eternal home? If I put my philosophy and Biblical knowledge to work and educate my students about God, heaven, and the sacrifice Jesus made, I am showing them about eternity. Planting a seed can largely impact a child’s future. Showing them the way to accept Jesus as their savior and how to teach others about Jesus IS ETERNITY.

We are eternal beings; a holistic education addresses both the temporal and the eternal. In that way, we are able to educate students in meaningful ways that will last forever.
