Questions from God: Do You Love Me?

In John 21, Jesus meets Peter after his greatest failure and asks him a simple but deeply personal question: “Do you love Me?” Jesus shows us that our relationship with Him matters more than our performance, reputation, or past failures. But genuine love for Jesus doesn't stop with words—it leads us to obedience, service, and a willingness to follow wherever He leads. As we close this series, we're reminded that beneath every question God asks is an invitation to examine our hearts and respond to Him.
