Love Me Like This

This sermon explores John 21, we're invited to witness Jesus' tender restoration of Peter after his denial. The parallel between this encounter and Peter's initial calling in Luke 5 is striking, highlighting Jesus' consistency and Peter's growth. We see a profound shift in Peter's motivation - from following out of awe at Jesus' power to following out of deep love. This transformation speaks to our own faith journeys. Are we following Jesus out of duty, fear, or genuine love? The repeated question 'Do you love me?' challenges us to examine our hearts. Jesus' command to 'Feed my sheep' reminds us of our responsibility to care for others, especially new believers. This message encourages us to move beyond our past failures, embrace Christ's forgiveness, and step into the calling He has for us - even when it might lead to sacrifice.
