2 Chronicles 1:1-2:18; Ezekiel 27:1-36; John 10:1-18
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” John 21:15 NKJV
After dinner conversation is one thing, but after breakfast? Morning clearly was the best time for this conversation to take place. This is a searching question for us, just as much as it was for Simon Peter. As we set out on our day, we are going to face challenges as to what our motive is in life. Let this question come fresh to our hearts, “Do you love Me more than these?” What are these? These could be people, things, or activities. These could be anything that takes our hearts away from Him. —Rex Trogdon
There is a story ever new, I’ll tell it o’er and o’er,
How Jesus gave His life for me; I want to love Him more. —F. Snyder
