John 21: 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

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.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”

 

Notice with every answer of “yes I love you,” Jesus requires action. God is not into “lip service,” He’s into action behind our words.

We can say we love God all day but, until action is behind our words we are only giving God “lip service.”

 

Q: How do I show action?

A: We show action by obeying His commandments. (John 14:15)

 

We have to take a stand and put action behind our words.

Be the voice for God and feed His sheep by teaching, preaching, or explaining the true Word of God to others.

Be the arms of God and show compassion for others who are need of a loving hand.

 

Show your love for God through your obedience.

 

Be Blessed!
