Do You Love Me? Jesus and Peter
After they had finished breakfast by the lake, Jesus asked Simon Peter:
—Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?
—Yes, Lord, you know that I love you —Peter answered.
—Feed my lambs —Jesus said.
And he asked him a second time:
—Simon son of John, do you love me?
—Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.
—Take care of my sheep —Jesus said.
A third time he asked him:
—Simon son of John, do you love me?
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, and he answered:
—Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.
—Feed my sheep —Jesus said.
Jesus entrusted Peter with the care of his own.
Let's talk: How can you tell Jesus that you love him?
Before sleeping say to him: "Jesus, you know that I love you." Goodnight.
