Why did Jesus challenge Peter's love? Christian Questions, Moments that Matter

12 views,

In our last episode we examined the deep lessons Jesus was teaching his Apostles when he appeared to seven of them after his resurrection while they were fishing. In this episode we dive more deeply into that shoreline moment, uncovering how intentionally Jesus shaped Peter’s restoration and future calling.

Their miraculous catch mirrored Peter’s first call to discipleship and now marked the beginning of his call to lead. After fishing and breakfast, Jesus asked Peter three questions about love. When Jesus asked, “Do you love me?” he was calling Peter to the self-giving love that reflects God’s own character. Peter’s reply revealed great humility, as he no longer claimed more than he could live up to. Jesus accepted that sincerity and immediately entrusted Peter with responsibility: “Feed my lambs.”

What can we learn about Peter and from Peter in this experience? For the answers to these questions and supporting scriptures listen to the full episode now:
