The Book Of John John 8:28-32

for educators
So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He,
and that I do nothing on My own authority, but speak just as the Father taught Me. And He Who
sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
As he was saying these things, many believed in Him. So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed
him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free.”
There’s a Word for that! Gracious
Have you ever wished you could take your words back? It never feels good, but memorizing this

Scripture for a reminder before we speak will definitely help.

Colossians 4:6 - Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how
you ought to answer each person.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Help us Lord with the words of our mouth and
the meditations of our hearts for out of our
hearts come our words. Teach us to have gracious
speech by seasoning it with salt so that we may
Y

know how to answer any person we encounter at

school. Let our speech be a blessing to the
students, our colleagues, our administrators and
our whole school community. Let there be
A

something different about us because of our

gracious speech. Give us the words we need that
will bless at just the right time, O Lord. We love
you and ask in the gracious name of Jesus. Amen.
