John TWENTY ONE!

So today, we had this chater for bible study, weird ey. haha but still blessed, God tries to teach m eeveryday so i wont take this any more secial or any less secial because God is always trying to teach me, so here goes. 



The first thing that really caught my eye in this chater was when eter and Jesus had finished eating, from Verse 15-17, it says when they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon eter, "simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"  "yes, Lord," he siad, "you know that i love you."  Jesus said feed my lambs."  Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"  He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that i love you."  Jesus said, "take care of my shee."  The third time he said to him, "simon son of John, do you love me?"  eter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "do you love me?"  He said, "Lord, you know all things, you know that i love you."


When i see this, i feel like there is an urgency for us, i mean eter failed to recognize Jesus when he was called to roclaim His name by standing u for the man that was his saviour.  I feel that when we look into our lives we should really ut ourselves into the shoes of eter and have Jesus ask us the same questions.  like aul do you love me, and reeat it however many times it needs to be done, and ask yourself what love is to you.  If you love me then would you do this, this and this.  And even in my own life i question it a lot and is truggle but at the same time its a struggle i might go through because i want to be with my God and father. 



ANOTHER verse that really caught me by surrise, like i had no clue what it was really trying to say or even tell me.  This was right after the do you love me art, it says Jesus said, "feed my shee.  I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted, but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."  Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death eter would glorify God.  Then he siad to him, "Follow me!".


hmmmm, now that i look at it i mean im still nto sure what its reallys aying but from my viewoint our lives are for service, no matter how you look at it =), awesome.  But when it seaks about being "Younger" it means our lives as nonbelievers, utting on the "clothes" that we wanted to, which was sin.  But as we get older, and have our hearts transformed by Christ we are called uon by his love and faithfulness to bring glory to God, 


YET AGAIN! its a call to Christ.  FOLLOW ME he says, FOLLOW ME!


yeah, follow him, =) alright, ill do it.
