Do You Love Me?

Jesus has a conversation with Peter [the apostle]. He asks Peter three times over that same question, "Do you love me; do you love me; do you love me?" The third time around Peter was actually almost aggravated, he was grieved by this, he was grieved to think that Jesus wouldn't just trust and know that he loves Him. Sometimes we need to reflect carefully on that question and ask ourselves, "Is it really true?"
