The Search is Over

“If you love people, and you point them to the love of God, you are fulfilling your purpose.”

We hesitate to commit to a relationship with Jesus out of fear that He does not love us. But God already loves you beyond comparison. Once we discover that we are searching for his love, we won’t have to seek anywhere else to find our fulfillment.

Scripture References

35The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

36When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

37When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

38Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked,

“What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

“Come,”

he replied,

“and you will see.”

So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

40Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.

41The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).

42And he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said,

“You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas”

(which, when translated, is Peter).

16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,

“Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said,

“Feed my lambs.”

16Again Jesus said,

“Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said,

“Take care of my sheep.”

17The third time he said to him,

“Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter 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.”

Jesus said,

“Feed my sheep.

Very truly I tell you, 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.”

19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him,

“Follow me!”
