A third time Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was sad because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” so he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.”
John 21:17 GNBDK
Reflection:
Three times Jesus asked Peter the same question, in doing so atoned his denials and gives Peter a responsibility. This personal encounter with Jesus was not just essential for Peter but imperative and like wise it is for us, for we cannot share what we don't have. But when we encounter God, we do all things through his grace and for his greater glory.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to personally encounter him through his son Jesus Christ as you submit to him wholly. May his Holy Spirit teach you with wisdom, love and understanding the truth about God. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
