INTERNATIONAL NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH 

THE NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH IN THE  WORLD

I’ve been taking my grandchildren to school for many years now.

When we arrive in time I sit in the stairs for a while and some children usually come and offer me candies.  So, I start to talk with them.  I advise them not to be violent, and to be respectful with their elders and teachers. It is then when I realize the many things we learn in the house of God, how many examples have been engraved in my soul through the years I was able to serve the Lord in his house as a Priest.   These lessons are also given to our students in the Sunday School.  I am used to telling the children that even now with the times we are living, every new day is a white sheet of paper where the good and the bad is recorded. The good will be written by the meek and  the obedient, those who study and take care, and the bad will be written by those who do not pay attention to their lessons.

 

Once I discovered that some children were making fun of an elder teacher.  So I told them the story of the child who wanted to humiliate his teacher with his evilness.  He hid a little bird in his hand and asked the teacher if the bird was dead or alive. But, the teacher’s wise answer made the little boy fell ashamed: “ If you close your hand it’ll be dead, if you open it it’ll be alive, everything depends on you, my pupil”.

The school Headmaster was notified of these beautiful encounters and in the end of the year Celebration I was surprised with the “Medal for Merit”  award. I was really happy, but the best of all was the feeling that,  I was able to take from the files of my heart what once had been placed there by the teaching of the Apostles and some other Servants.
