저희 유초등부는 매주일 K-5학년 학생들과 모여 하나님께 마음과 정성을 다해 예배를 드리고 말씀을 배우며 삶 속에서 하나님을 더욱 사랑하고 이웃을 사랑하며 함께 자라나는 곳입니다.
저희 교회 비전센터에 들어오시면 왼쪽 벽에 역대하 7장 성경구절이 적혀있습니다. 솔로몬이 성전을 지은 후, 기도하였을때 여호와께서 에게 나타나셔서 하신 말씀입니다.
“내가 이미 네 기도를 듣고 이 곳을 택하여 내게 제사하는 성전을 삼았으니 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 이제 이 곳에서 하는 기도에 내가 눈을 들고 귀를 기울이리니이는 내가 이미 이 성전을 택하고 거룩하게 하여 내 이름을 여기에 영원히 있게 하였음이라 내 눈과 내 마음이 항상 여기에 있으리라” 이 말씀처럼 저희 아이들이 어린나이일 때부터 하나님을 찾고 기도하며 죄를 회개하고 우리의 죄를 용서하시고 생명을 주신 예수님께 감사드리고 남은 삶 속에서 성령님을 의지하여 말씀에 순종하며 하나님 안에서 목적과 꿈을 찾아 주신 달란트를 하나님 나라를 위해 살아 세상의 빛과 소금이 되길 기도합니다.

Kids Blog-153 fish
Last Sunday, kids learned that Jesus came to Peter to forgive and restore him.
Bible verse: When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." John 21:15
Bible story: Jesus and the Miraculous catch of fish John 21:1-19
When Jesus died on the cross, Jesus' disciples felt scared. They had lost hope and confidence. One day, Peter decided to go fishing and other disciples joined him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He told them to throw their net on the right sider of the boat and they will find some. When they did, they caught a large number of fish, 153! Then one of the disciples said to Peter, "Is is the LORD!" As soon as Peter heard him say, he jumped into the water. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it and some bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." Then he said, "Come and have breakfast."
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" Peter said, "Yes, LORD, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Again Jesus asked, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He answered, "Yes, LORD, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep." Jesus said the third time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter replied, "LORD, you know all things, you know that I love you." Jesus said, Feed my sheep...follow me!"
Now this story is amazing because it shows that Jesus came to Peter and the disciples, called out to them and prepared breakfast for them. Jesus fully knew that Peter denied knowing him three times and the disciples deserted him when he was arrested. Yet, Jesus came looking for them, extending His love and forgiveness. Peter probably felt ashamed and heartbroken. He was not confident in doing anything important for Jesus before encountering Him again on the shore. Jesus showed Peter that He still loved him no matter what Peter has done, forgave him, and gave him an important job, to feed His lambs, take care of them, and follow Jesus for the rest of his life! What Jesus has done for Peter, He has also done for you and I. Even though we disobeyed God, God showed us His love by sending Jesus to die on the cross while we were still sinners. He showed that He still loves us and forgives our sins.
After seeing Jesus again, Peter was a changed man, no longer full of shame and guilt. He was filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly declared that Jesus was raised from the dead and Jesus is LORD. In Acts 2:38, Peter proclaimed, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit!" This promise is also true for us. This week, as we remember this promise our God has given us, let's take the time to repent and turn away from our sins and thank Him for forgiving our sins and filling us with the Holy Spirit!
