The following is from John 21. Jesus is calling us; He is challenging us – just as He did Peter. That challenge to Peter called for deep commitment and action on the part of the apostle. Jesus is calling us to commit our love, so that His work will prosper and increase throughout our church and into our community.
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time He said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to Him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.” - John 21:15-17
Blessings in the name of Jesus,
