Lovest Thou Me?

in #steemchurch5 years ago

Jesus one of His appearance to his apostles after his resurrection, he had a conversation with Peter in which Jesus asked him, "Lovest thou me?" Jesus inquired from Peter to give answer to the question but when he asked the third time, Peter replied "Lord thou know all things "you know that I love you. Peter mind went back to the promise during the suffering when Jesus had prophesied his denial and realized that his lord was indeed able to read his heart.

Sure Peter did love Jesus despite the fact that his efforts to save him from the cross had been thwarted that Jesus had referred to him as "Satan"prior to his crucifixion : Jesus said to Peter after his conversion. He was strengthen his brethren. And here He was to "feed the sheep of Jesus, Peter who accepted Jesus as the promised Messiah, who had been empowered to perform miracles.

May be Peter did not understand while he was being convinced that Jesus was the Messiah. That it was necessary for him to suffer and die as the Redeemer he was endeavoured to prevent Jesus' death.
Because of this reason that all those who did wrong should suffer for it. But not other way.

We think of love only in word there is more to love. Love is not only in word but in action we are even told to love our enemies and do good, we are not to just say we love them only but in action word. Peter loved in word and not in action. Your action show how deep your love is.

The true action love has been reflecting in only Jesus Christ. This best seen when He sacrificed his life for us because of his true love. What love can we compared with some one to lose his life for all mankind. In fact this unprecedented in the history of creation, Jesus love is unique and divine one. In fact, He demonstrated love practically for all mankind to see how action love looks like. That was what he was expecting from Peter to do. But, after the death of Jesus, Peter and the other Disciples came to realisation of what Jesus Christ was trying to put across about action love. They remembered Jesus Christ and tried to put love into action.

As Christians, our greatest renewal of our relationship with Christ is love one another as Christ first showed us love. Love over shadow so many sins, and always build our inter personal relationship between individuals and God.
