Is Sunday School Important?
If a person were to enquire of you how you are feeling about Sunday school, how would you reply?
Unhappily, not everybody loves and considers Sunday school is significant. Even inside a lot of of our churches there are people who have less than a encouraging attitude towards Sunday school. This is frequently seen in the fact that in a lot of churches merely around half or less of the people who go to worship in addition go to attend Sunday school.
There appears to be two common grounds for church members not affirming Sunday school:
1. They lack actual loyalty to the things that Sunday school is all about - Jesus Christ, the Bible, love for others etc.
2. They do not actually understand what Sunday school is all about and how God’s work is being accomplished by it.
Sunday school could and ought to be an all important part of every Christian’s life. The Christian teaching, fellowship and additional factors of Sunday school are as critical for Christians nowadays as ever.
If you set out to attempt to answer the question about the value of Sunday school, there are at least six different reasons that must be admitted:
1. God’s Will is Being Done…and we ought all have a desire to see His will fully established in our own lives and in the lives of others.
2. God’s Word is Being Studied and Taught…and we should all desire to experience it and follow it in our everyday lives.
3. God’s Love is Being Shared….and we must not fail to do our part to show God’s love to our fellowman.
4. God’s Work is Being Done…and we should each commit ourselves wherever we can to do our level best for Christ and the church.
5. The Lord’s Day is Being honoured…and it is significant for each one of us to do all that we can to keep the Holy Day holy.
6. God’s People are Assembled and Enlisted…and we should each have a desire for the blessing of their fellowship and friendship.
Sunday school is important! It is a place where persons of all ages can come together with others of similar age and interest to ask questions, study, share and learn about God, His Word and His will for each of our lives.
Is Sunday school important? For certain! But, before we can tell other people all about the value of Sunday school and ask them to come in and be a part of our school, we must each be sure of the reasons why WE “love Sunday school.” Only when we can see the value and importance of meeting and studying the Bible in Sunday school will we want to share the good things that we have found with other people.
