When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him,”Feed my lambs.”
He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, :Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, :Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.”

Three times Jesus tells us what we are called to do
and still we deny him.

I shared from that very same Scripture today. Love when God speaks through repetition. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThat scene in scripture is always so poignant. Peter darely believing for grace, and Jesus pouring it out.
ReplyDeleteRadishes are the things I grow to encourage me that eventually everything else will also sprout.
Sounds like a simple task, but discernment is needed at all times to see clearly. My view is often muddled. Thanks for hosting and happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI think the best activism is loving the real people right in front of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad God is willing to repeat himself when we are slow to understand - and that he forgives and then gives us chances to do better when we've failed.
