—John 21:15-25
by: Gem Barton.
Peter was no doubt hurt because Jesus asked him the same question three times, “Do you love me?” and gave the same instruction, “Feed my sheep.” Peter was tasked with taking care of the ones that Jesus was about to leave behind. Yet when he asked Jesus about what would become of John—the disciple whom Jesus loved—Jesus’ response was, “What is it to you? Follow me.” There are times when you will be tasked with nurturing salvation in others and other times when the gospel becomes personal. Both are required because God desires all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4).
