27/09/2015 AM: Do You Really Love Jesus?
John 21:15-19
New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So
when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love
Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love
Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love
Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love
You.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My
sheep. 18 Most assuredly,
I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but
when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and
carry youwhere you do not wish.” 19 This He
spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to
him, “Follow Me.”
