Day 2 - Intentional Goodness in the Classroom

The name Good Friday has always been a mystery. What could be good about such a terrible day for our Savior? How did it come to be called good? I research a little about its origins and ironically, no one is really sure historically. However, theologically it is the ultimate act of intentional goodness ever done.  Jesus gave himself for all of us that we may live. Unreal.

A verse to ponder

John 10:14-15

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep."

An intentional blessing for the classroom  

Today is a very personal act of intentional goodness for you as an educator. On this solemn day of remembrance, find time to be in prayer specifically for your students, your teammates, your fellow workers, your administrators and your school community. Ask God to protect them and to give them a sense of their high calling also. Praying on their behalf may be the best intentional act of goodness you can give.

A focus of reflection

Have you seen your high calling as an educator? Have you grasp the importance of your impact? God has placed you in this year’s particularly setting to be His hands, ears, eyes and mouth. Your every word and deed are noticed. Seek His help in prayer each day to do His will and to be a blessing to the students and colleagues you touch. May God bless you with His saving love this Good Friday.

Ephesians 4:1

…a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

As always, I am
Prayerfully dependent,
