John 21:15-25

John 21:15-25
Jesus and Peter

When Jesus and his disciples had finished eating, he asked, "Simon son
of John, do you love me more than the others do?" Simon Peter
answered, "Yes, Lord, you know I do!""Then feed my lambs," Jesus said.
Jesus asked a second time, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter
answered, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you!" "Then take care of my
sheep," Jesus told him. Jesus asked a third time, "Simon son of John,
do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus had asked him three
times if he loved him. So he told Jesus, "Lord, you know everything.
You know I love you." Jesus replied, "Feed my sheep. I tell you for
certain that when you were a young man, you dressed yourself and went
wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will hold out
your hands. Then others will wrap your belt around you and lead you
where you don't want to go." Jesus said this to tell how Peter would
die and bring honor to God. Then he said to Peter, "Follow me!"

Jesus and His Favorite Disciple

Peter turned and saw Jesus' favorite disciple following them. He was
the same one who had sat next to Jesus at the meal and had asked,
"Lord, who is going to betray you?" When Peter saw that disciple, he
asked Jesus, "Lord, what about him?" Jesus answered, "What is it to
you, if I want him to live until I return? You must follow me." So
the rumor spread among the other disciples that this disciple would
not die. But Jesus did not say he would not die. He simply said, "What
is it to you, if I want him to live until I return?" This disciple is
the one who told all of this. He wrote it, and we know he is telling
the truth. Jesus did many other things. If they were all written in
books, I don't suppose there would be room enough in the whole world
for all the books."

Jesus is the way. Invite Him into your heart.
