The last few days have been interesting where my Bible class is concerned. We have jumped off track onto something I saw as being infinitely more important than doctrine...and that was simply the Gospel message and also discussing Islam in light of that. The previous 2 days were spent trying to simply hammer out in simple terms what the Gospel message is. I gave the kids the Roman Road and we walked through that. Today I tried to compare with them who Muslims say Jesus is with who Christians say Jesus is. I think it was a bit over their heads. I guess that is part of teaching. Sometimes lessons are great, sometimes they flop. The previous two days, though, I was stunned by the way Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers...one of my students was shocked when I said that we all sin. She also didn't realize that she had to make the decision herself, but instead had understood that her mom would make it for her. It has been discouraging to hear some of the comments made...and then others of my kids understand the Gospel message so passionately and clearly and they long for their peers to get it. But I'm trying to get across to them that we have to relate that with gentleness and respect as I Peter 3:15-16 talks about. Its an interesting week. So many factors...and such precious lives. Makes me wonder if I'm really cut out for this job...sometimes I wonder if I really know what I am doing. Do you ever feel that way?
