JESUS ASKED PETER, DO YOU LOVE ME MORE THAN THESE OTHERS?

John 21, For the third time, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Lake of Galilee.  A group of us were there Simon Peter, Thomas, “The Twin,” Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, my brother James and I and two other disciples. Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come too,” we all said. We did, but caught nothing all night. At dawn we saw a man standing on the beach but couldn’t see who he was. He called, “Any fish, boys?” No,” we replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get plenty of them!” So we did, and couldn’t draw in the net because of the weight of the fish, there were so many! Then I said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” At that, Simon Peter put on his tunic and jumped into the water and swam ashore. The rest of us stayed in the boat and pulled the loaded net to the beach, about 300 feet away. When we got there, we saw that a fire was kindled and fish were frying over it, and there was bread. “Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went out and dragged the net ashore. “Now come and have some breakfast!, Jesus said. Then Jesus went around serving us the bread and fish. This was the third time Jesus appeared to us since his return from the dead. After breakfast Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Do you love me more than these others?” FRIENDS, MANY PEOPLE SAW JESUS AFTER HIS RESURRECTION. Colossians 3:1-3 Since you became alive again, so to speak, when Christ arose from the dead, now set your sights on the rich treasures and joys of heaven where he sits beside God in the place of honor and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts; don’t spend your time worrying about things down here. You should have as little desire for this world as a dead person does. Your real life is in heaven with Christ and God.
