Are you tired, bored or frustrated with your school life?
Welcome to Jesus' school of Discipleship.
Where the prerequisites for entry are not grades or achievements or money, but a willing and sacrificial heart.
Where school has no starting and ending hours, but runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Where the school ground is not a building, but life itself.
Where the lessons are taught not with books and pens and pencils, but with the events and happenings of everyday life.
Where nothing is extra-curricular, for everything in life is curricular.
Where there is only one Textbook, and it is never outdated, never wrong, and you can never finish understanding it.
Where the qualities looked out for are not intelligence, strength and self-confidence, but weakness, humility and brokenness.
Where the outcomes for diligence are not grades, awards and honours, but more humility, peace and joy.
Where you don't have to pay school fees, but all your basic needs are provided for.
Where you will never work, nor struggle, nor suffer, alone.
Where you don't have to make appointments with teachers for help, but help is always present.
Where tests don't come periodically, but every day, every minute, every moment.
Where passing a test doesn't mean that you will be praised, but it means that you will be humbled.
Where failing a test doesn't mean that you will be kicked out, but you will still be smiled at, encouraged, and given another chance.
Where the goal of tests is not to give you empty grades, but lasting character.
Where the rules of the school do not need to be enforced, but are willingly obeyed.
Where you are never forced to conform, but are truly set free to be yourself.
Where work is not a chore, but a joy.
Where work is not filed and thrown away after it has been marked, but lasts and bears fruit to eternity in heaven.
Where things never get monotonous or routine or meaningless, but everyday brings a new adventure.
Where you are not taught how to merely survive and get by in this world, but how to make a real lasting difference.
Where you will not be changed from the outside in, but from the inside out.
Where the higher you progress, the lower you must go.
Where not the worst students, but the best students, suffer.
Where the marks of a true student are not success and achievements, but love and suffering.
Where you will have to give up everything, but somehow still gain everything back- and more.
Where you only graduate from the school when your life ends, but it is a fantastic graduation beyond description.
Where the overarching principle of it all is not success or ranking, but LOVE.
And where meeting the Principal is not the greatest fear of every student, but the greatest joy, and literally something to die for.
Are you interested in enrolling?
"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever who desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matt 16:24-25.
