THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 91: Do You Love Me? |
|
|
The apostles traveled to Galilee to meet with Jesus.
Peter and six others impulsively decided to go night fishing and
caught nothing. When the sun began to rise, a man stood on the shore
and called out for them to cast the net a final time. Humoring the
man they did not recognize; they found the net was suddenly full of
fish and threatening to sink the boat. It was reminiscent of the
same miracle that had occurred three years earlier. John recognized
it was Jesus and Peter joyfully jumped overboard to meet the
God-man. The Son of God had a meal prepared and the men ate it in
silence, knowing who He was, but no one dared question His identity.
Then Jesus did something surprising by singling out Peter and
repeatedly asking him, “Do you love me?” The answer was simple
enough, but Peter could not answer to the God-man’s satisfaction
because they were at different levels. Jesus was asking about
unconditional love and Peter kept referencing brotherly love. |
