Loving Jesus
John 21:15-17
“So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.’ He said to him, ‘Tend to My lambs.’ He said to him again a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love Me?’ He said to Him, 'Yes Lord; You know that I love You.' He said to him, ‘Shepherd My sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love Me?’ Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ and he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend My sheep.’”
If you love Jesus
You love My people
If you love Jesus
You love His works
If you love Jesus
You desire to see change
If you love Jesus
You desire to see lives changed
If you love Jesus
You will tend to His sheep
If you love Jesus
You will desire revival
If you love Jesus
You will desire His heart, His presence
If you love Jesus
Other’s pain will be your pain
If you love Jesus
You will give to the widow and the orphan; you will give to the poor
If you love Jesus
You will see Him in them
If you love Jesus
Nothing else will matter except His works
If you love Jesus
What you see will sadden you and then stir a fire within you
If you love Jesus
You will desire to protect His sheep
In prayer, fasting, reading, and constantly seeking
Until you find an answer
If you love Jesus
You will talk to Him
If you love Jesus
He will be your first stop of everyday
If you love Jesus
His cross, the blood would mean more to you
If you love Jesus
You will know who’s vine you’re grafted in
If you love Jesus
You will know who’s family you have been accepted and adopted into
If you love Jesus
He’s your main and only focus
If you love Jesus
Sacrifice for Him is no question
If you love Jesus…
If you love Jesus
It’s easy to be serving and not selfish
If you love Jesus
There’s no question of whom you will serve but where and how
If you love Jesus
He will be your guide
Let Him be your guide
***Let’s Pray!!! Father, we thank you for the love you have so graciously bestowed upon us. Even those who reject you and your love, Father, we pray your mercy towards them. Guide them into all truth. Guide them to Jesus. Father, let us all take on the characteristics and mannerisms of our big brother Jesus Christ. Let us be selfless and humble. Let us die to ourselves and our flesh daily. Let us renew our minds day in and day out. Let us not over-complicate what you meant to be simple. Father, return us back to our first love. Return us back to the simple, secret place that encompasses so much of your glory and your presence that cannot be denied. Father, let our focus be Jesus. Let our focus be to serve you by serving your people. Let our nation see souls set on fire again for the return of Jesus Christ; for salvation. Let every knee hit the floor setting the earth on fire. Earth, you do not have to moan any longer. For the manifestation of sons is here! Earth, the innocent blood that was shed on you will be vindicated. Cough up everything that was stolen from the children of God and yield forth your increase towards us. The time is now, and time has been, for the children of God to occupy. In Jesus’ Name we pray—Amen.***
