(Read John 21:1-17)
This song takes its inspiration from the story of
Peter, who, after being commissioned by Christ to
preach the Gospel and after seeing the Savior risen
from the dead, quickly slid back into his old way
of life and went out fishing with his buddies.
How those words must have cut to his heart: "Simon,
son of John, do you love me more than these?"
And then the Lord repeats this question three times.
Ouch!
Each time Peter responded, "Lord, You know I
love you." And in essence Jesus came right back
with this sentiment: "Prove it! Be who I created
you to be–a fisher of men. Do what I have called
you to do. Feed my lambs."
I think the same holds true today. He is asking us
the same question, "Do you love Me." And
He is still looking for proof.
Let these words pierce your heart, as they did Peter's.
Then examine your life to see if you are doing what
the Lord has called you to do.
