“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Faith in God gets us through the challenging times in life, but it’s also important to have faith in God that your work will be valuable at some point in the child’s life. I like this verse because so much of teaching is about “the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” We often have no idea whether the hard work we are doing now will be meaningful later on, or whether we play an important role in a child’s future at all. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” Psalm 32:8 Consider including a Bible verse with your gift if your child’s great teacher is a practicing Christian who might appreciate it!

Printable PDF – Bible Verses for Teachers The word of God reminds us that Jesus was the expert at all three of these. If we want to make disciples of all nations, we can start by loving the next generation well right here at home. Teachers are called to love, serve, and teach. Of course, modern-day school teachers have an entirely different subject matter, but they still have the perfect model of good works in Jesus. That was His way of being He was always teaching. It’s interesting to me that Jesus is often called “Teacher” by his disciples. Over and over again, He demonstrated love to foreigners, widows, sexual minorities, and even a tax collector, promising that they’d receive their glorious riches in heaven. In fact, Jesus often showed kindness and even preference for the least “important” people in society.
Jesus also welcomed little children, when it was culturally unheard of for an adult to spend time with children. He was blameless in every way, yet he lowered himself to love others well. The visual of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet reminds me of people who work in service-based professions, like teachers and nurses. Teachers wipe noses, encourage kids of all ages, create welcoming environments, send kids to the nurse, hug them when they’re hurt, and provide a listening ear to older students who need the support of a caring adult. In fact, the very first line of the Beatitudes reads: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Our teachers are definitely poor in spirit during this time in American life, and rightfully so.
What we all need is a word of truth to set us on the right path each day. There is so much negativity in the profession today, especially from the outside world.
The Bible talks a lot about serving others, and teaching is absolutely one of those not-so-glamourous, service-based professions.
