The Book Of John John 6:53-59

for educators
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink
His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life,
and I will raise Him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. Whoever
feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in Him. As the living Father sent me, and I
live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on Me, he also will live because of Me. This is the bread
that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this
bread will live forever.” Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as He taught at Capernaum.

Getting to know Jesus, our gentle Shepherd, helps us to model His kindness and tender-loving care
to our students. As a follower of Christ, let us be mindful of our opportunities to shepherd like Him.

John 10:27 - My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are the Great and Gentle Shepherd Who
tenderly and carefully guide us. Help us to listen
for Your voice so that we may follow You. Thank
Y

You for Your Word that gives us a clear and

encouraging guide as we navigate the waters of
public schools. Lord, it is becoming increasing
more difficult to serve the students and staff. We
A

ask that they too, may hear Your voice, know it is

You and rest in the transformative power of Jesus,
the Christ our Lord. We are Christ-followers, who
are learning to love more each day. Thank You
Jesus. We ask in Your holy name. Amen.
