A little note

Posted in Religionon Jul 17, 2007

Last Sunday I taught Sunday School in church, and I taught about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Later that day, I got this little anonymous note which read:

Um, I was in your lesson today, and I just wanted to tell you that something you said today changed my life.

Isn’t that what gospel teaching is about? Teaching the Gospel such that it helps people better themselves?

Oh that is just awesome. I used to be a seminary teacher and that was pretty much what I lived for… not the note, but hoping that something I was doing would invite the Spirit into the classroom to touch the lives of the students. I do miss those opportunities.

On a sidenote… I also remember a lesson a teacher taught about the atonement that changed my life. How grateful I am for that lesson.
