Christian
What do we mean by “Christian”?
“[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
St. Paul in Colossians 1.15-17
Christian
If all things were truly created by Christ, through Christ and for Christ, then that means that nothing can be understood properly and fully apart from Christ. There is no Hope at Hope Academy without Christ. He is our only Hope in life and in death. At Hope Academy, Christ Jesus thoroughly permeates and saturates everything we teach, we discuss, we celebrate, and we communicate. Christ is not just an “ingredient” in “the cake”—He is the whole cake!
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”
— King Solomon in Proverbs 1.7
