 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD

TUESDAY 22ND APRIL,2025

TEXT: John 21:13-17

[13]Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

[14]This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

[15]So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

[16]He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

[17]He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

TOPIC: DO YOU LOVE JESUS?

        It is easy to say I love Jesus but loving Jesus is deeper than that. Loving Jesus implies that he is the owner of your life and your loyalty and submission is to him regardless of whatever may happen along your walk with him.

       Jesus asked Peter: “ Do you love me? “ thrice. And at the third time he was grieved and responded accordingly by using the same word Jesus used which is agape love. The love Jesus demand from us is unconditional love, not a love because things are going rosy for you but also to love him when things are hard for you. If you truly love Jesus, you will love other’s around you and you will be sharing to share the gospel with them. Until you love Christ unconditionally, you have not really love him.

Prayer: Father let your love fill my heart and let my life be a full expression of your love in Jesus name.
