Having just called Peter to ministry, to follow Him, it surprised Peter that Jesus preceded the command with the challenging words, “do You Love Me?” Although Peter sounded shocked by all this, I believe that Jesus knew that Peter would look for excuses, even after being asked by the Master to follow Him. Friend we must remember that Jesus knows ALL about us, including the things that we think or never audibly say. In today’s perspective, we normally respond with something like, “am I not busy enough already, why not call on Joe for that responsibility”. In line with the way Jesus responded to Peter, I believe that Jesus responds to us by saying, “I called on you because I know that you are the person for this job, not Joe or anyone else in the church”. It may be better for us to stop looking around for another person to volunteer, and concentrate on the blessing of being asked to serve the Lord in some meaningful way while here on earth. Where do you stand with your response Brother or Sister?
