Who's gonna teach?

Schools are in trouble.  Teachers want out.  The pandemic has stressed educators to the limits.  It's harder to realize the desire to see students learn and grow, the reason people get into education.  Fewer and fewer think it's worth it to teach.

Jesus has a crowd that is longing to be taught.  His heart breaks for them, and He teaches.  Teaching is a sacrifice from the heart.  It is ultimately a calling received personally from Jesus the teacher.

Let's pray that our poor world can receive the teachers she needs.  Let's beg Christ the teacher for this grace.

Who's gonna teach?
