Be Even More Amazing

God determines who walks into your life. What will you give them before they walk away?

John 21:15-17 < I found TWO TERRIFIC TUESDAY LESSONS HERE!

(Jesus appears to His disciples following His crucifixion.. )

"15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

16Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."

17 The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."

Jesus said, "Feed my sheep."

LESSON ONE:

...is simple! Jesus said, "....take care of my sheep..." That is "sheep".. US...!! We are called to care for one another, lift one another up and to genuinely CARE for one another....!!! Simple, right? *Wink, Wink

LESSON TWO:

The beauty of FORGIVENESS! This to me (apart from the cross) is just the most beautiful example of the love of Christ. Notice how many times Jesus asked Peter, "..do you love me...?">THREE TIMES He asked this question! And Peter is like..."YES!! I LOVE YOU ALREADY>what's the deal!!!"

Here is the BEAUTIFUL deal:

Jesus was demonstrating the most amazing act of FORGIVENESS and LOVE in this moment. Peter had DENIED Christ THREE times just prior to the Crucifixion!! (Matthew 26:34)

Peter, that name means "rock" btw, DENIED even that he would DENY Christ, prior to DENYING HIM! And he did it THREE times.....

and THREE times Jesus is saying, "I KNOW you love me...Peter, I FORGIVE YOU! I KNOW you LOVE me...Peter, I FORGIVE YOU! I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, PETER...I FORGIVE YOU.."

He was unwinding the ball of yarn ALL the way down for Peter. Even to the very last denial>no more wondering for Peter>just TOTAL FORGIVNESS! *sigh

The sweetest thing......The sweetest thing we can give and pass on to another: FORGIVE so you can LOVE so you can MOVE so you can LIVE!!

"Feed my sheep....">Today.

Be even MORE amazing! 2gether we CAN do this!
