The message reflects on the question Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me?" following His resurrection in John 21. This inquiry challenges believers to examine their devotion to Christ in head, heart, and hands. The sermon highlights love as the foundational Christian affection, born from recognizing our sinfulness and God's grace through Christ's sacrifice. True love for Jesus transcends theology, benefits, or distant admiration, emphasizing a personal, intimate relationship with Him. It inspires believers to obey and serve out of love rather than duty. The narrative of Peter's restoration after denying Jesus illustrates the transforming power of divine love, encouraging self-reflection, gratitude, and rekindling of love for Christ. The call is to prioritize this love, ensuring it remains unrivaled in our lives. |
