Lip Service or Life Service - John 21:9-17
May 22, 2022
Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John,
do you love me more than these?”
Peter replied, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.”
Jesus responded, “Feed my lambs.”
from John 21:15
.
Saying we love someone is different than living it. Jesus asked Simon Peter if he loved him. Peter replied that he did love Jesus. This cycle of question and response took place three times, with Jesus calling for Peter to feed his sheep each time.
To say we love Jesus cannot be separated from living that love in ways that reveal God's love in Jesus.
