Do You Love Me? Part 1 Do You Love Me? Part 2
In our final 3-part Summer Series, you and I return to the shores of Lake Galilee to listen in on a conversation between our Lord Jesus and Peter.
Divine Instruction
The simplicity of wisdom shakes the earth. From a question of four words, “Do you love Me?”, Jesus gives instruction with two words: Feed and Follow.
Peter’s focus and future—his holy homework assignment from Jesus—fell within those two words. It was as if our Lord told him, “Peter, I want you to shepherd My people and to follow your Shepherd. Keep company with the sheep and keep company with Me.”
And later, in the Spirit anointed writings of First and Second Peter, we feel deeply the apostle living out of those Directives.
Divine Destiny
The Greatest Question pairs with the Greatest Commandment to guide us to The Greatest Discovery: LOVE. Like Peter, our soul’s destiny, and our daily satisfaction rest within our response to the Question of Jesus: “Do you love Me?”
Do you love Me? (with all your heart)
Do you love Me? (with all your soul)
Do you love Me? (with all your mind)
Do you love Me? (with all your strength)
“Yes Lord, you know that I love you.”
May it be so, OH MAY IT BE SO!
Living With Eternal Intentionality®
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom You have sent” (John 17:3).
Looking back on this 3-part series, what is one life application take away?
If Jesus asked you, “Do you love Me?”, how would you answer Him?
