Do you love Me? – John 21
Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/22/37-40/s_951037
“Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
There’s an ongoing struggle taking place in us: GOD DIRECTED LIFE? SELF DIRECTED LIFE?
John 16:32 NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/jhn/16/32/s_1013032
“Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own (path), and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”
A self-directed life leads us to Futility
Life is found when we love Jesus and surrender our will to His
THE SELF-DIRECTED MAN CANNOT PERCEIVE JESUS CALLING HIM
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/2co/4/3-4/s_1082003
“Even if our gospel is veiled, it is (only) veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age (Satan) has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.”
A LIFE SURRENDERED TO JESUS’ DIRECTION LEADS TO ABUNDANCE
Jesus has everything you are searching for
DO YOU LOVE ME MORE THAN THESE?
PETER WAS TOUCHING THE SUBLIME
A life surrendered to Jesus Christ is a PROFOUNDLY POWERFUL LIFE
