Graded with Grace

Posted on March 8, 2022 by msw blog

My son’s blue eyes sparkled with excitement as he showed me a paper he had brought home from school. It was a math test, marked with a red star and a grade of 100 percent. As we looked at the exam, he said he had three questions left to answer when the teacher said time was up. Puzzled, I asked how he could have received a perfect score. He replied, “My teacher gave me grace. She let me finish the test although I had run out of time.” As my son and I discussed the meaning of grace, I pointed out that God has given us more than we deserve through Christ.

  I too found it to be a beautiful one, and bravo to the math teacher in addition to teaching math, they are also teaching valuable life lessons.

    Yes, kudos to that teacher and more who are teaching so much more than the subject at hand!
