Now may the God of peace Himself
sanctify you completely, and may your
whole spirit and soul and body be kept
blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He who calls you is faithful; He will
surely do it. I Thessalonians 5:23-24
Prior to each school year, I spend time
considering the theme verse for the year.
This verse guides chapel topics, time in
prayer with the teachers and staff, and
becomes the focus in my times of prayer
for our school. For this school year, I have
selected I Thessalonians 5:23-24, Paul's
prayer for the Gentile church of
Thessalonica. In chapel, we have begun to
look as this beautiful doxology and several
students had it memorized by the second
chapel of the year. In fact, one second
grader reported to me that she can say it
with her eyes closed, jumping on one foot,
turning around in circles. Very impressive!
In this doxology, the Apostle Paul prays for
the church that they would be sanctified,
set apart for a holy purpose in all aspects
of their being. But this is more than just a
prayer of blessing, for this is a prayer of
faith and commitment. In the same way
that Paul prays for the church, the CCS
teachers, staff, and school board are
praying for our school and our students.
We are praying for and pressing towards
complete sanctification in spirit, soul, and
body. One Biblical scholar explains this
sanctification, "Where the good work of
grace is begun, it shall be carried on, be
protected and preserved; and all those
who are sanctified in Christ Jesus shall be
preserved to the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ." (Matthew Henry Commentary,
Bible study tools. Com, 2014)
What should this sanctification look like at
our school? It should be demonstrated in
the classroom as the teachers explain the
material in the light of God's Truth. It is
exhibited at the cross country meet and
the volleyball games as coaches and
player exhibit great sportsmanship and
effort. It can be seen on the playground as
students run and play and enjoy the
outdoors. As those who love the Lord,
each part of our day and each part of our
lives must be set aside for His holy
purpose.
And as the prayer closes the promise is
given. Our God who is faithful will
complete this sanctification in our lives.
Truly, He is faithful and He will do it- for
His glory!
