Sermon Illustrations

Consider Francis of Assisi, when he gave his life to Jesus he sensed God telling him “Francis, all those things that you have loved in the flesh you must now despise, and all those things that you formally loathed you will drink great sweetness and immeasurable delight”. On leaving the town were he heard this St Francis saw a leaper, before Christ he hated leapers, despised them, he leaps off is horse gets on his knees before the leaper and kisses his hand, then goes to the leaper colony and begs forgiveness for his attitudes and kisses all and gives money and time to help them, so what would Jesus do more what can Jesus do if we let him.
