Grand Rapids Christian Middle School Principal's Corner

Living in the Love and Grace of Easter

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst.  But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen" (I Timothy 1: 15 - 17).

This past weekend, we celebrated and remembered again the greatest of all blessings: the price that Jesus Christ paid for our sins to defeat sin and death and to make us free.  Thanks be to God for His glorious love and grace!

Our daily challenge in each and every day that God gives us is to live in that love and grace and to carry it on to the world.  To share His love and grace with everyone we come into contact with.  The students at GRCMS are often challenged with the fact that their first job at school is to love one another.  May we all challenge ourselves each day with that same message as we live in the love and grace of Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
