There will not simply be the discipline imposed, but it will be a discipline which is rooted in God, a discipline which seeks to have the order of God and reverence for God as the heart. In the covenant we reverence our heavenly Father. So children are to reverence their parents and the teacher who stands in the place of their parents. That order, I say again, is not the order of a prison camp. It is an order of respect and reverence rooted in the love of God.
Pupils listen to their teacher.
The teacher says it once and there is compliance. The teacher disciplines even as God would discipline His children through wisdom and patience. And in all of the relationship the covenant of God is reflected. The covenant means that there is something spiritually attractive about a Christian school. It means that a Christian school will savor of the grace and mercy of the heavenly Father which will run through every aspect of the school.
