Every Tuesday at school, the Biology teacher had a special class where she taught new things to his students. She was always happy and made the class exciting.
Because of her cheerful attitude, everyone enjoyed her lessons and wanted to learn more. They were also excited to find out what she would teach them next.
The Director of the Handing School was very proud of all the teachers, and he often said good things about them.
But what made the Biology teacher different?
He loved teaching because he felt it was something she was meant to do. She believed that her job was a gift from God, so she did it with all his heart.
One day, she started the class by talking about what he thought a human being was. She said a person is like a spirit living in a body. The spirit comes from God, and the body is the physical part that we can see and touch.
During break time, some curious students went to the teacher to ask more questions about the mind.
What did the biology teacher day?
“What is the mind?” they asked.
The teacher smiled and said, “The mind is like the part of you that helps you think, feel, and understand the world around you.”
She told them to read a Bible verse, Philippians 2:5, which says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”
Then, the students asked why they should have the mind of Christ and not their own minds.
The teacher replied, using another verse from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 2:16, “We have the mind of Christ.”
She explained, “We need the mind of Christ to think and live the right way. We can’t do that unless our minds are focused on God’s words.”
The students were curious and wanted to know more.
“How can we get the mind of Christ?” one of them asked.
The teacher smiled and opened his Bible to Romans 12:2. They all read together, “Don’t be like everyone else, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do.”
After learning this, the students were excited. They talked about how they could study the Bible more and think like God in everything they did.
And so, they left the teacher’s room with new ideas in their minds and a desire to live like God wants them to.
Lesson: We get the mind of Christ when we study the Bible every day and pray to God.
