THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST

Praise be to our God the Father; God the Christ; and God the Holy Spirit

Dear children, to whom my Lord longs to get closer to Him, greetings and blessings in the name of Jesus.

It’s such a stage of life where you little children will be so much busy in your academic syllabi. Dreams and wishes always flash our minds regarding our success in academics and so on. I would love to present a small story to you.

Two little boys, who were friends and classmates, preparing for their upcoming exams. On the day of exam, at the last minute preparation, one among the two was doubtful and looked help from another. His doubt was clarified with a very good explanation. And the time which was spent in clearing doubt made the boy who helped to not revise the concepts which he planned to do at that time. The invigilator called all the students to get inside the exam hall immediately. Since he couldn’t revise as he helped his friend, he became so nervous and his heart rate rose thinking, “what would happen if that unrevised concept be asked in the question paper?” Regrettably, that same unrevised concept was asked. He was pondering over and over to grab the concept from his memory, yet he couldn’t get it, and he gave his best in that question. He went back to home with tears and disappointment. He prayed and prayed about his score. And when his exam score was released, his face became dead. In that specific subject, he was not given even 1-mark for the answers which he wrote for that question and his rank in the class fell. He wasn’t able to face his friend and left home quietly as the other boy advanced in rank.

“Why? Why?….Why is this to me? How much I prayed to God… Why He didn’t show me favor as I helped my friend”, resounded in his heart. Then he opened his bag to take out something, and he was insisted to take out his Bible from it. He opened it and there struck him a word,

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” – Romans 8:28

He further turned the pages and again He was caught by another verse,

“Charity….seeketh not her own” – 1 Corinthians 13:5

The next day when he saw his friend, he congratulated him for his highest rank in the class. The topper could not even trace a feature of jealousy or anger in his face. It amazed him. And this became glory to the Father.

Dear children, listen what concept the boy learned from the school of Christ.

Jesus Christ, being the Word of God, learned the word of God as a man when He was walking the earth, and that’s how He could overcome evil saying, “It is written”.

The world and its concepts will inspire us to be ambitious, and be an ever- topper which will destroy true love and the values of life.

Children, asking the Lord for success to testify Him is not a sin. But you need to understand that getting success and testifying the Lord alone will not become glory to God! Even the character which we will reveal in our failures becomes glory to God.

Jesus is an ever-lover of children. He loves to make you a valuable soul and this is possible only when we join the school of Christ with our whole heart. Well, this school is not a man-made building block. God is omnipotent. Where ever you are, you have access to God through His Word.

Prayer

Dear Jesus, I Love You Lord. I accept the sufferings which You endured for me on the cross. I accept Your call to join Your school. Thank You, that You are ever ready to accept me and take me to Your school to teach me the right path. I Love You Jesus.
