Jesus Reinstates Peter
15 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.”
16 Again Jesus said, “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.”
17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
This past Wednesday night was awesome. Our first since school started back up and we got right into God's word and what He is calling His young Church to do.
When Jesus was questioning Peter about His love for Him. It was a time of realization for Peter. A time to realize the sacrifice Jesus was making and a call to action for what the Church would be.
We too must push through the lip service of our Christianity and get to work. It's more than just accepting Christ into our lives, it's more than attending Church, it's about serving others. Jesus is more than just a passport to Heaven, He wants a true relationship in which He leads you in to service for the Kingdom.
Please continue to pray for our Church. That His name would be lifted up.
Love in the name of Jesus our Savior- David, Krista, the Lyons boys, and the Youth.
