Rescuing the Next Generation
One of the most intriguing Bible stories is that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They were three Hebrew boys taken into captivity by the Babylonians. These boys were just like other Hebrew children except “God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom.” (Daniel 1:17) They were educated, and they stood out to King Nebuchadnezzar to be placed in positions of leadership in his country, positions to make a difference in others’ lives.
Just like those three boys were similar to other Hebrew children, our graduates are no different than graduates in any school in our country, public or private. As they walk across the stage on Friday, June 6th, they will receive something that will set them apart from many of their peers and even family members—they will receive their high school diploma.
It signifies their accomplishment of meeting the stringent graduation requirements of Hope Christian School and the state of Florida. But more importantly, it signifies their triumph over adversity.
Whether it was growing up in a distressed family or living in a third-world country or being moved from their childhood home to serve at Hope, they each had adversity to overcome, and they succeeded. They now hold one of the keys to their future in a diploma. It is the key that opens the door to college and bright futures for each. They have gained knowledge and wisdom much like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
But the most important similarity our three graduates have with the three Hebrew boys is they know the Savior. Education is important. It will help put food on the table and pay the bills. But knowing the Savior is the master key that will enable them to unlock peaceful, rewarding, productive lives and make a difference in the lives of those around them.
I am proud of each of our graduates. They are all headed to college next year, another advantage they have over many of their peers. It will not be easy. But they can do “all things through Christ.” (Philippians 4:13) If you would like to help these graduates with college expenses, please make a donation to our Hope Scholarship Fund.
Your generous donation will be greatly appreciated by all our graduates as they attend school. If you are unable to contribute financially, I know each would covet your prayers as they open the next door in their lives.
