When Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” (John 21:17), He did not do it out of His own insecurity. It matters to Him if we love Him, because it is so important to our well being. Love is not a touchy-feely something. It is not a mere emotion. It is to feed sheep and follow Him. Love is a practice. Love demonstrates itself by service and keeping Jesus’ commands. He is asking us today, “Do you love me?”
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15
