JESUS SAYS, Do you love me? Do you love me more than these? (JOHN 21:15) So when they had finished eating, JESUS SAID to Peter, Peter, do you love me more than these? Brothers and sisters, JESUS asked Peter this question three different times, and it hurt Peter because he knew he denied JESUS three different times like JESUS said he would! But what would you say to JESUS if he asked you do you love me more than these? Would you be willing to give up all the these things for JESUS? Would you even know or understand what all these things are? (JOHN 21:15-17) So when they had finished eating, JESUS said to Peter, Peter, do you love me more than these? Peter said to JESUS, yes, lord; you know that I love you. JESUS said to Peter, feed my lambs. JESUS said to Peter again a second time, Simon Peter, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter said to JESUS, yes, lord; you know that I love you. Jesus said to Peter, feed my sheep. Jesus said to Peter a third time, Simon son of Jonas, do you love? Peter was grieved because he said this to him for the third time, do you love me? And he said to JESUS, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. JESUS said to Peter, feed my sheep. (MATHEW 26:33-35) PETER answered and said to JESUS, THOUGH all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended. JESUS SAID to Peter, verily I say to you, that this night, before the cock crow, you shall deny me three times! Peter said to JESUS, though I should die with you, yet I will not deny you. Likewise the disciples all said the same thing. Brothers and sisters, what would you do if JESUS asked you three different times do you love me, knowing that you have not loved JESUS like you were called to love him? What would you do if JESUS asked you do you love me more than these things? People, would you even be willing to give up all the these things for JESUS? And do you even know what all these things are? Brothers and sisters, what would you do if JESUS confronted you about all the times you denied him, and he asked you do you love me the same amount of times you denied him? Would you continue to tell JESUS you love him despite your failures? Would you obey him when he tells you three more times to feed his sheep? They say, What Would JESUS Do, WWJD, but JESUS is asking you What Would You Do-WWYD! Brothers and sisters, The truth of the matter is this, Peter denied JESUS three different times like JESUS said he would, and if we tell the truth, then we should know for a fact we have denied JESUS far more than three different time in our lives, and yet JESUS is asking us the same question he asked Peter, Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me more than these? Feed my sheep!~ Brothers and sisters, Many people claim they love GOD, many people claim they love people, and many people claim they know what love is, but JESUS draws a clear line in the sand when it comes to real love, and what real love desires from you! For real love will cost you all of you!~ (John 14:23) JESUS SAYS, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our HOME with him. (John 14:21) JESUS SAYS, He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (Luke 14:33) JESUS SAYS, So likewise, whosoever he be of you that does not forsake all that he has, he cannot be my disciple. (Matthew 10:32-36) JESUS SAYS, Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a mans enemies shall be they of his own household. Brothers and sisters, Real love will cost you some things, real love will cost you some relationships, real love will cost you all of you, real love will eventually ask you three different times, Do you Love me, Do you Love me, Do you Love me, and real Love will not be asking Do you Love me for the sake of it not knowing if you love him or not, but Love will be asking you do you Love him for the sake of you knowing yourself!~ What is Love, what is real Love? Many people relate love with what they feel, but love is much deeper than what I feel, love is real. When I say real I’m not talking about reality, because love is much deeper than what my eyes can see. Some say love is blind, in a sense love is blind, but love can see. Love sees through the eyes of faith, faith is the substance of things hoped for & the evidence of things not seen. Love has sight, insight, love can see. Love is connected, love has a covenant relationship with faith & hope. Love is not blind, love sees, love is not alone. What is love? Love is like a beautiful woman whose beauty is full, her name is love, & her maiden name is truth. She will not take another man’s name, & neither will she compromise who she is. She says I am patient, she says I’m waiting on Mr. Right, the right man, so I ask her what is this Mr. Right, & what is he like? She answers my question with a question, she says, what is a man? Naturally I reply, a man is someone who takes care of his business, family, life, children, wife, etc. etc. etc. She laughs as she replies, those spoken words they indeed sound good, they have a show of wisdom, & appearance of knowledge, but it lacks truth. So I ask her, what is truth? She says, the truth is a real man is someone who can accept the truth at all cost, It’s going to cost that man all, truth will cost that man everything he is. I am love, my name is love truth. Now ask yourself, Am I a woman? Am I a man? I Am a person? “I Am” The question to you is this, do you know me? I am love, my name is love truth, he who has me has life!
