“University Of Eternal Life: Part II: Registration, Tuition, & Lecture!”

REGISTRATION:

            One morning, I was talking to the Lord, and He gave me an awesome idea. It had to do with my education. Christ got involved in my education and gave me a new perspective on life. I have never been upset that Christ got involved in my education. In the excitement I said to Jesus Christ, "Lord I want you to educate me and be my new teacher. Let me register for the class you are offering" With His Blessing, I went to class.

TUITION:

Now came time to pay the tuition for the class. The tuition for the class came in the form of time.

How much time would I spend in the Bible class?

LECTURE:

            The first thing that happened was the lecture. The lecture is sometimes short or long, but whatever Jesus had to say became very important. In a way, hearing the lecture determined how much I would learn from the Lord. He lectured about the law, immorality, morality, forgiveness, sin, etc. As I listened to His lecture there were times I became very distressed!

            I never felt this way in my other classes, but this class seemed to be different. Jesus was telling me about all the sin in this world. Being a Christian, I realized I had no business living a life of sin. Furthermore, some of the education I was receiving from the world was full of lies and deception. Full of remorse, I raised my hand and called Jesus. I said, "Lord I know that what I learned in my other classes is not what you have been teaching me.

Will you educate me your way?"

            "Sure, I am so joyful to help you", He said. First of all, think about all the classes you have taken which are against what I have taught you and reevaluate them using my standards and not the world's standards. Now take this new syllabus I am giving you and follow it thoroughly reading through each of the assignments.

           As for what the world teaches you, it will be hard to forget but, "I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:9-10).

            Jesus reminded me what is taught in academics will not always follow what He wants me to know but there is a lot of truth that is taught in the academics and all Truth is God’s Truth. I need to be able to take in the truth and the lies that are taught and be able to separate them. I need to focus on the Lord, seeking His Kingdom first, doing everything for the glory and honor of the Lord as I learn knowledge to help others so we can serve humanity to bring honor and glory to the Lord. That is exciting to know!   

           As I continued to listen to the lecture, I was awe-struck. I thought to myself, following the lecture or God's Voice seemed hard many times. It must be because I did not do the assigned readings. I realized just listening to God becomes a lecture.  I learned the lecture had to be tested with the Word of God because Jesus would never lecture on anything that is not already confirmed in the Word.

         If it is in the Word, then it is from the Lord. Jesus ended the lecture by telling me, "Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance" (Proverbs 1:5).
