Well do you love Jesus?

He said to him the third time, ’. . . do you love Me?’ —John 21:17



I read this verse this morning and was thinking on it. It is such a simple question that Jesus asked Peter. But really it is very deep. God is asking us the same question. Peter responded that Jesus already knew the answer and he was right. God does know the answer. Each day God asks us this question as we go through the day. You walk by a child who needs some clothes....can you hear God say "do you love Me?". A co-worker makes you mad and you are about to lash out at them and you hear God say "do you love Me?". Your friend needs to hear the gospel and you hear God say "do you love Me?". We can list a million things here. As the old saying goes talk is cheap. We can tell God we love Him but the proof is in our actions. Jesus told Peter to "feed my sheep". Love in action.



So this morning Jesus is asking "do you love Me?"....show Him how much you love Him!
