DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 17; Jeremiah 51:1-24; 1 Timothy 1
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea,
Lord; thou knowest that I love Thee. He saith unto him, Feed my
lambs. John 21:15
This thrice repeated question seared into Peter’s consciousness.
But the Lord had earlier given to His disciples and to us a simple test
of love for Him. “If a man love Me, he will keep My words” (John
14:23). It is remiss to profess love for Christ unless we are obedient to
the Word of God. If we love Him we will obey Him. —Doug Kazen
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my heart, my life, my all. —Isaac Watts
