Do You Love Me?
John 21:15–17 After the resurrection, Jesus meets His disciples by the Sea of Galilee. It’s a quiet, intimate moment—far from the crowds and chaos. And in this setting, Jesus turns to Peter, the disciple who had denied Him three times, and asks a question that echoes through the ages: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Not once, but three times. This isn’t a rebuke—it’s a restoration. Jesus isn’t asking for a confession of guilt; He’s inviting Peter back into relationship and purpose. Each time Peter affirms his love, Jesus responds with a commission: “Feed my lambs.” “Take care of my sheep.” “Feed my sheep.”
