An Important Question that Jesus Wants To Ask
Why did Jesus ask Simon Peter this question three times? I believe it was to get Peter to remember it. I believe Peter probably talked about how much he loved Jesus... or at least thought it. Therefore, Jesus wanted Peter to know that "if you truly love Me, Peter, feed My sheep and My lambs. This is how you show Me that you love Me."
For us, it is the same. If we claim to love Jesus, then we will tell others about Him. We will give others the good food of the Word of God. This is how we show how much we love God.
He saith unto him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?"
Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time,"Lovest thou Me?" And he said unto Him, "Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee." _
_ Jesus saith unto him, "Feed my sheep." ~John 21:17 KJV
