Jesus said to him, “Follow me!”
—John 21:19

Thought Of The Day...
On the night Jesus was arrested, Peter had revoked his discipleship. Under threat, he had denied three times that he was a follower of Jesus. When he realized what he had done, Peter went out and wept bitterly (Matthew 26:69-75). He was overwhelmed by shame and guilt.
After Jesus’ death and resurrection, the Lord asked Peter a question. But the question wasn’t “Why did you abandon me when I needed you?” or “Why didn’t you have the guts to stick up for me?” It was simply “Do you love me?”
Jesus had died on the cross for Peter’s sins. What he wanted to know now was whether Peter loved him. Peter’s sins were in the past; Peter’s love would shape his future.
When Peter said, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you,” Jesus, the conqueror of sin and death and the Lord of life, graciously invited him to take up his discipleship again and follow him into the future.
Doing the same with us, Jesus is astonishingly gracious. He doesn’t bring up our past sins, betrayals, or infidelities. He simply wants to know if we love him. For that makes all the difference.
Are you seeking Jesus? Do you love him? He invites us to go out and serve him today!
Prayer...
Heavenly Father, thank you for your everlasting love and grace. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for your endless mercies and unfailing compassion. As we reflect on John 21:19, we are reminded of your great love for us, even to the point of sacrificing your only Son for our sins.
Lord, we stand in awe of your great power and humbly come before you, asking for your guidance and strength. Help us to remain in your love, to be rooted in your Word and to follow your path with a steadfast heart.
May your love flow through us, shaping our thoughts, words, and actions. May we be a vessel of your love to all those around us, showing kindness, forgiveness, and compassion, just as you have shown to us. May we reflect your love and bring glory to your name in all we do.
Thank you, Lord, for your unending love and faithfulness. We pray that we may always bask in your love and share it with others, for your love is the greatest gift we could ever receive. In Jesus name, we pray, amen.
Enjoy your Sunday Church Services and God Bless!
