Value Seen In The Cross

3/30/2018

The cross of Christ is something that is looked at often during this time of the year. The cross that Christ died on serves as our reminder of the hideousness of our sin, and the value God places on His glory and justice.

Christ did not die to respond to any value He saw in us. Rather, He died to create Spirit-wrought value. Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Will he learn about servanthood?

At Camp Otyokwah, we teach campers to put others ahead of themselves. Servanthood is at the heart of Jesus’ teaching. Jesus said in Mark 10:45, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve."

Will she learn self-management skills?

Your child will learn self-management skills. Counselors make sure the cabin group is doing what they are supposed to and she will be prompted, when necessary, for important tasks (such as taking a shower!). However, it will be her responsibility to get herself ready and be on time for activities and that means she is learning self-management.

All this leads to wrestling with the challenging parts of our our life and clearing out the junk. It’s kind of like a computer . . . we all need a periodic reboot to be better person.
