Do You Love Me?
from South Point Sessions Hosted by South Point Church
Today we recap our Brurch discussion around the recount of a passage in John 21, where Jesus asks Peter if he loves him. A key takeaway from this conversation is the patience of Jesus in his relationship with Peter. Not only had Peter previously rejected him 3 times, but now when asked about his love for Jesus (agape, the highest form of love), Peter can only respond with "you know I love (phileo, a friendly/brotherly form of love) you." He asks him a second time the same question, to which Peter responds with the same answer. Then, in his final time of asking Peter if he loves him, Jesus switches from using the word "love (agape)" to "love (phileo)". . In this exchange Jesus doesn't require Peter to change his degree of expressed love, but rather shows patience and grace with him as he meets him where he is "at". . Join us as we discuss the patience of Jesus in our own lives and how it is an example and call for us to be patient with others (and ourselves) as we walk through life.
