DO YOU LOVE HIM?
John 21:15 reads; 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.” This is the question that each of us must hear in our spirits daily. If we love Him we must feed His lambs, take care of His sheep and feed His sheep. For many years I have read that chapter in the book of John but it was quite some time before I realized that there’s a difference in each of the commands that Jesus gave after He asked the questions to Simon Peter. The same question was asked each time; Peter, do you love me? When Peter answered, each time he said yes Lord. With each positive answer Jesus responded to Peter, “Feed my lambs, take care of my sheep and finally feed my sheep. Basically what Jesus was saying to Peter is the same thing He’s saying to us today. If we really love Him we’ll do for His lambs and sheep what needs to be done. Our question today and the question we need to hear every day is “Do you love Him?” There were at least ten other disciples there but He asked the question to Peter only. Today and everyday each of us should hear those questions and the responding commands to us individually. It doesn’t matter what He’s asking those around us. It doesn’t matter if He’s speaking to someone else or just one person. The information that He wants from each of us individually is, what is God speaking to you and what is your answer to Him? Do you love Him? If we love Him we will feed and take care of His sheep and lambs.
