Saved for what purpose? Tuesday April 10th, 2012

This past weekend we had the blessing of celebrating Easter with our family.  Easter is a special time that we distinctly remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  It was through His death on the cross that we can be reconciled with God.  It was his resurrection that assures us of His victory over death.  Through this season we can reflect on Jesus as our Saviour.  He is risen! He is risen indeed!  This is something to be celebrated and acknowledged as it begs the question, “Saved for what purpose?”  We can recognize that salvation is not only about the removal of our sin.  God allows us to partner with Him to the praise of His glory.  We have been saved by His grace through faith and the overflow of salvation should be evident in our lives.  Christ is not only our Saviour but also our Lord.  The way we live our lives becomes a faithful response to our Creator and brings everything under the Lordship of Christ.  At DCCS we desire our students to be prepared for a life of Christian service as part of that faithful response, as an overflow of salvation.  We pray that at DCCS the works of our hands, the meditation of our hearts, and the learning that occurs wil  be a manifestation of our faith and help serve our purpose of presenting ourselves as living sacrifices before our God.  Thank you for joining us in celebrating Christ as our Saviour and Lord.  ~Mr. Bouwers
