[Jesus] then asked a second time,
"Simon, son of John, do you love me?" (John 21:16)
If you will, this verse reads like an invitation for us to tell Him we love Him. That’s how it struck me this week anyway. Like any two people in relationship, one could ask “Do you love me?”
I think this speaks to Jesus’ passionate heart for His people as individuals. God can keep it all straight, all at once. He can have an intensely personal relationship with every single person on the planet at the same time without overload. He is God. And like the consummate Lover, He wants to hear us tell Him we love Him.
When was the last time you told Him you love Him? Not only for what He’s done, though that’s certainly where it starts. But for who He is.
Here Him whisper the question to you. What’s your answer?
