—John 21:15-19
by: Angie Osborn.
Peter seemed confused by Jesus repeated question: "Do you love me?" The passage even states that Peter felt hurt by the question. In a sense, Jesus poses the same question to us today. Do we love him? Do we really love him? What does that love for Christ motivate us to do? It should be our motivator for all that we do. In "feeding his sheep," we love others, help them and lead them to a relationship with Christ.
As we accept God's love and forgiveness, we can move forward to do the things he is calling us to do-even if we don't feel worthy. He will give us the strength and direction if we look to and truly love him.
