"...the greatest of these is love." I Corinthians 13:13
Demonstrating "TRUE LOVE" is a primary focus at Eastland Christian School. Administration, staff and students are encouraged to follow after LOVE--"GOD'S LOVE". The first step in achieving that LOVE is to recognize the selfless, sacrificial LOVE of God in giving His Son, Jesus, to atone for our sins and make us one with Him. Only then can we understand that God's plan for us is to have His LOVE and then show that LOVE to others. God has given us many gifts, but the supreme gift is LOVE. The LOVE chapter in I Corinthians 13 surely reflects all the characteristics of Jesus' LOVE--but we must recognize that it was written to us who have experienced God's love to tell us what we ought to be like. A recent chapel service, focused on LOVE, coordinated by ninth grader Naeli De La Rosa and conducted by the ninth grade class, captured our attention. The music, skits, Bible presentation and student testimony were geared to challenge and inspire us to show God's LOVE in all our words, actions and deeds. Words, actions and deeds are powerful. They can encourage or discourage. They can inspire or frustrate. They can help or hinder. Our words, actions and deeds must reflect LOVE--God's LOVE. LOVE never fails. LOVE abideth forever. LIFE - LOVE = NOTHING
