The Book Of John John 4:1-6

for educators
Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more
disciples than John (although Jesus Himself did not baptize, but only His disciples), He left Judea
and departed again for Galilee. And He had to pass through Samaria. So He came to a town of
Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there;
so Jesus, wearied as He was from His journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth
hour.

There’s a Word for that! Compassion

It is our charge, Christian educators, to be compassionate just as our Lord has shown compassion

to us. Take time to reflect on your compassion level for the children and your colleagues.

Psalm 103:13– As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to
those who fear Him.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the favor and compassion you have
shown us to be educators in the public schools.
Y

Help us Lord to take our high calling seriously each

day with a sprinkle of compassion for all in our
sphere of influence. Let us be like You, Lord, Who
shows compassion to those who fear You. We love
You, stand in awe of You and ask for Your Spirit to
A

convict us to be compassionate to the underserved

and underprivileged among us. We ask in the
compassionate name of Jesus. Amen.

Meditation for the month

D

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on
its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the
truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
