Last week turned out to be a very special week.
At
Fol
low
Jes
us we were talking about heaven.
I had a box full of things to rem
ind us what heaven
may be like. A torch, because the glory of God will shine, tissues, as there will be no
more tears, Panadol, for there will be no more pain, and death notices because
there will be no more death! Even while doing PE with the Year 7/8 class we talked
about what would happen if there was no heaven. Sad to say that would be the end
but all we have to do is believe in Jesus and confess Him as our Saviour to make
sure we spend eternity in heaven with Him! Even at the Special School I had a
young student say he had thought that when you die that was the end. I was so
privileged to tell him about heaven and give him hope. This is why we work at a
Christian school.
This week we are looking at parable of the lost sheep. I remem
ber my son being
lost; I found him asleep and woke him and asked if he was lost? He looked at me as
if to say, “Lost? But you are here!” We too can always know that Jesus is right with
us. Are you lost? Ask Jesus to come into your heart.
Last week the 7/8 class took chapel and did a great job. We look forward to Years
9/10 leading out tomorrow and next week the 5/6 class are in charge. Join us!
