The most cliche things seniors say are comments about lasts and endings, as I begin to process the endings and start reflecting on my time as a KR student, I am so reminded of the blessings He has created throughout me time at the place I will truly miss when I leave for college.
When I think of Jesus' promises and blessings to believers I am immediately drawn to the story of Abraham and the ways that God tested him. To give you some context, we are in the beginning of the Bible in the book of Genesis. The biblical series of events that surround Genesis 22 are the birth of Issac (2066 B.C.) and the death of Sarah (2029 B.C.). Chapter 22 is introduced and Abraham and Issac go to sacrifice the lamb to Jesus. The important thing to realize is that they had to travel a ways to where God wanted them to perform the sacrifice and they traveled all that way with no lamb. Issac questions his father and asks where the lamb is. Abraham responded without any doubts "God will give us the lamb for sacrifice, my son" (Gen 22:8). God is a faithful God who loves his people and through that provides for Abraham making him a more faithful follower. Verse 16 is where we get to the point I am trying to make. Jesus says to Abraham
"I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations will be blessed, because you obeyed me"
Jesus promises to bless Abraham because of his faithfulness in the Lord.
I believe that because of faithfulness within founding members, our headmaster, administration, faculty, and staff, KRCS is a place where Christ is truly evident. I believe that the faithfulness I have discovered as a result of this Christian environment has developed my faith in Jesus and through that faith He has created abundant and unimaginable blessings.
As this series begins to unfold, I can't wait to touch on all of the blessings that Jesus has given me, my family, and my school over the past 10 years as a KR student. There is definitely more to come on ways God has shown Himself faithful at KR!
Thanks for reading!
