The best person / John 6:9-11
Today, I will worship God with the children of my favorite and dearest riverside church.
I don't know how good it is to be. Toddlers and preschoolers and toddlers
How well they and elementary school children were able to recite the Bible, sing praises, play handbells, and sing songs in English
I do not know. It was so very good. Please give me another round of applause.
Let me ask the children a question. Who is the best person in the world?
Are you the best person in the world? One more question. The best person in the world
What kind of person are you? Are you rich with a lot of money? Very knowledgeable professors and PhDs
are you? A minister or general or president with a lot of power? no. wealthy, knowledgeable
A lot of people, a lot of power, aren't the best people. What are many people in the world
Are you a good person? A loving person is the best person in the world.
Once upon a time in Italy there was a man named Francis. Francis is a rich man
He was not, he was not very knowledgeable, nor was he very strong. Francis is love
It was a lot of people. That's why the whole world calls Francis a saint and makes him the best man
respected as Francis loved not only people, but also animals and birds, and loved the sun and the moon.
The stars loved it too. He preached not only to people, but also to sparrows.
1 Francis and his company came to a village in the countryside. Just then the sparrows in the woods on the hill
The sound of roaring was heard. Francis told the group: “Everyone,
Please wait for a while. I will come and tell these sparrows the word of God.” Francis
He went up the hill and said to the sparrows, “Oh, sparrow sisters, to you
I am trying to hear the word of God. I want you to quiet down for a while.” Then, loudly
The sparrows that had been chirping stopped all at once and became quiet.
“My little sisters, all because you live in the infinite love of God.
You must praise God. God made sisters so they could live happily on this earth
I did. He clothed me with soft feathers, and spread my wings so that I could fly in the blue sky
He gave them food and gave them food so that they could live without farming. See you again in the beautiful forest
You have made it possible for me to sleep and wake up comfortably so that I can live as a golden bed. And as beautiful as your voice
Where is the down thing in this world So how can you not praise God?
how?”
The sparrows tilted their heads and listened quietly as Francis preached. "Ego
Everyone sang happily. From now on, let’s praise God.” yes
Now, the sparrows who had listened and listened so quietly opened their mouths all at once as if they had made a promise.
praised God. Francis loved the sparrows, calling them little sisters, especially the lark.
and pigeons, calling them cute and chaste sisters
2 Francis Loved Wolves Too A ferocious wolf that harms people and livestock in the village of Gubbio.
One came down every night and made people fear. Francis is the wolf
Hearing this, I felt pity for the wolf. Francis went to the village of Gubbio and
I called people together and said:
“Everyone, what if the wolf that was harming you became so terrifying?
There will be chickens. Probably because people were trying to harm the wolf. Brothers, I am
I will always show you that love takes away any evil or fear.”
And he took them up to the mountain where the wolf was. Close to the crevice of the rock where the wolf lives
came. Let the villagers stay quietly there, and Francis is with a young man in the village.
Together we went closer to the wolf. Just then a wolf with a blazing fire in its eyes
He was in a pose as if he was about to attack with his teeth wide open. The young man is dead
I stumbled backwards. But Frances did not waver, and drew a cross on his chest and
I walked slowly towards the side. The wolf faltered a little, but continued to growl.
All. Francis continued to approach the wolf, looking quietly at the wolf with soft eyes.
For a while there was a breathtaking tension.
Then Francis spoke quietly. “Brother wolf!” so soft and friendly
It was a voice. At that sound, the wolf's growl ceased. “Brother wolf, I am Jesus
I came here because I have something to tell you in the name of Jesus said we love each other
He told me to live with it. Now everyone wants you to come down to the village and live a friendly life.

He lifted one of his front paws into my bare hand.
Francis' eyes and the wolf's eyes met, and what did Francis and the wolf say to each other?
is. Finally, Francis crouched down and hugged the wolf's neck. Then the wolf's eyes
Hot tears were pouring down. The townspeople who witnessed this
We were all moved to tears by the deep and wide love. The wolf soon followed Francis to town.
I came down to the village of Gubbio with the people and lived close to the villagers for two years before dying.

3 Francis loved the poor and the sick, especially the lepers. he is the door
He went to the camp for the sick and kissed their hands and loved them. One day the leper
A ferocious and ruthless patient in the camp swears at his brothers and sisters who care for him.
It spread. “You filthy hypocrites, I am a cursed leper. The love of Jesus is also yours
All love is false and vain.”
He even rubbed the pus flowing from his body with the palm of his hand and sprinkled it on his brothers. saw this
Francis went up to him and said to him who was swearing at him. “Dear brother,
I wish you peace.” He said to him, who continued to swear at him.
“I will do whatever your brother wants. “Then put my pus-covered body on my head
Wash thoroughly from head to toe.”
Without saying anything, Francis put the incense in clean water and warmed it over a fire, and then
The leper's body was washed down from the head, step by step. But Francis's hand reached

The best people in the world aren't the people who make a lot of money
Not a lot of power either. He is a loving person. Five thousand people gathered in the empty fields. Yes
When the Lord asked if you had anything to eat, no one gave you the food they brought.
I didn't give it to Jesus.
But a young child ate five barley loaves and two fish, the lunchbox he had brought.

The people that today's world needs the most are neither the rich nor the knowledgeable.
Like Dr. Jang Ki-ryeo, he is a loving person. All the children of Riverside Church are loving children
I hope they are all over. I love you children. God loves you
Bless you.
