What is the New Testament? How did the New Testament come to be and how should we read it? The Word of God came to reveal God and to reveal God's love for sinners. His Word is the definitive account of the life of Christ on earth. The New Testament is the witness to Jesus Christ who comes for sinners. ?In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.? (John 1:1) The God that the New Testament reveals is for us. The whole Bible is about the God it announces from the very beginning and from the very beginning this is a God who is giving. The New Testament shows God is for us in the life, death, resurrection and ascended life of Jesus Christ. The New Testament is Jesus Christ.

No matter what your role in education is - teacher, administrator, or support staff - much is usually expected of you. You can often feel pulled in multiple directions and as a result you can often feel discouraged, burned out, and ineffective. What should be your priority as an educator? How do you decide where to focus your energy and time? Are you really supposed to attend to all the needs of all the students? How should Christian education be different from secular education?

As an educator, you have probably been exposed to multiple instructional tools, methods, and theories that inform and assist your role in education. New ideas and new technologies have become a constant part of education often claiming superiority over past practices.

How does this story of transforming grace inform your methodology, theory, and practice?
