As Jesus’ ministry gained a higher profile - his teachings more difficult to understand and the cost to follow him more intense - many of his followers started to flee. One day Jesus asked the sharp question to his 12 disciples, “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Peter’s answer is filled with faith and is a model for us, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:67-68).
For centuries, most people thought the world was flat. They clung to this “truth” even when evidence showed the contrary. That is the flawed nature of human wisdom. It simply can’t be trusted. But Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.”
In the teaching ministry, our greatest privilege is the chance to share with our students the teachings of Jesus and that assurance that even though we are sinners, we have eternal life through faith.
We strive to deliver high-quality education, and even more important, we pray that our students might make the same confession Peter did. We count on the power of God’s Word.
