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.

Bible Story: The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant Matthew 18:21-35
In this story, Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times should I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "Not seven times, but seventy times seven." I think Peter asked that question because he probably struggled with the same thing we struggle with in our lives at home, school, in our relationship with others, forgiveness. Ever since our governor issued a statewide stay-at-home order to slow the spread of coronavirus, many of us have been staying at home, taking online classes, playing at home, and spending more time with family. At home, when your brother or sister does something wrong to you, you may want to be mean to them or hit them when your parents are not looking instead of forgiving them. Forgiveness sometimes may be difficult. So you may have asked this question, "How many times should I forgive my brother or sister when they do something wrong to me?
So Jesus told a story to explain. He said there was a king who wanted to collect money from his servants who owed him money. There was a servant who owed him 10,000 talents. He was not able to pay, so the king ordered that he and his family to be sold to pay back what he owed. Then the servant fell on his knees and begged. The king felt sorry for him, forgave him what he owed and let him go. But when that servant went out and found a fellow servant who owed him 100 denarii, he grabbed him and began to choke him. The other servant fell on his knees and begged him, but the first servant refused and threw him into prison. When the king heard about this, he called for the first servant to be brought back to him. He said, "You wicked servant, I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?" And he handed him over to the jailers. Jesus said, "this is how my Father in heaven will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart."
Even though we sinned against God, God forgave us by sending his one and only Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. In the same way, we should forgive our brothers and sisters as God forgave us. Ephesians 4:32 writes, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" Next time, when we are in a situation requiring us to forgive, let us depend on God to help us forgive and remember this Bible verse!
