John 21:17 Today at cell group, JJ talked about John 21:17. Jn 21:17 The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." I realized how enormous the subtext was behind Peter's 3rd response. You know like how you can be saying 1 simple sentence, but behind that sentence there is alot of things unspoken....but your friend, your bestest best friend, can understand those things that are unspoken behind your words. Peter and Jesus have got to be really connected spirit to spirit to have done that. I believe it was like this. Lord, you know all things; From the day I began fishing men and wholly follow you, you knew me. You knew everything that is in my heart and mind, and you corrected me when I was in the wrong. You knew that I have always esteemed you not just as a great teacher or a great friend. You are Christ - just as the Holy Spirit has revealed to me. And because you know all things, you also knew I succumbed to persecutions and sinned against you. When your words came true - I have indeed denied you 3 times when the cock crowed 3 times - you knew it dawned upon me how foolish I am. And even till now, I am grieving over my foolish action. You know it. I genuinely repent and desire your forgiveness to such a grave sin. So please Lord, forgive me. And restore me. Because...though I have hurt you deeply, the deepest part of me truly loves you. And you know that I do, Lord, because you know all things. You know that I love you. Labels: revelation 12:41 AM
