Day 39
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 researched a little about its origins and ironically, no one is really sure historically. However, theologically it is the ultimate act of intentional joy ever done. Jesus gave himself for all of us that we may live. Unreal.
A verse to ponder
“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 joy 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 joy you can give.
A focus of reflection
Have you seen your high calling as an educator? Have you grasped the importance of your impact? God has placed you in this year’s particular 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.
