Amor

The Question on the Beach

John 21:15-17
Listen

01. The Scene

Peter had denied Jesus three times. Disqualified and feeling like a traitor, he went back to fishing. Jesus meets him, makes breakfast, and asks one question three times: "Simon, do you love Me?". Not "Did you repent?" or "Do you promise to be good?".

"He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?""

02. The Essence

The theology of Love is simple: Loving Jesus is the only qualification for ministry. Jesus restored Peter based on affection, not willpower. For every "I love You", Jesus gave a mission: "Feed my sheep". Service is the overflow of love.

03. My Voice

Why do you do what you do? Duty? Guilt? Jesus calls you to the beach to ask: "Do you love Me?". If yes, everything else (obedience, service) follows naturally. Stop trying to "work" for God and start "loving" God.
