If your resolve to obey God last year did not help you to be faithful, it will not make you successful this year. Jesus does not need your resolutions, your recommitments, or your promises to try harder this year. If you truly love Him, you will obey Him (John 14:15). He asked Peter, 'Do you love Me?' If your answer, like Peter’s, is 'Yes, Lord,' He will reaffirm His will for you. He will ask you to examine your love for Him. Jesus will take you aside, as He did Peter. Perhaps you denied Him by the way you lived. Peter must have wondered if he had been capable of being Jesus’ disciple when he was unfaithful to Jesus in His most crucial hour.Īs you begin a new year, you may be painfully aware that you have failed your Lord in many ways. Later, he publicly denied that he even knew Jesus. Peter miserably failed his Lord when he fled with the other disciples from the Garden of Gethsemane.

Rather, He takes us aside and asks us to reaffirm our love for Him.

He does not ask us to make a resolution to try harder. Jesus has a wonderful way of restoring us when we fail Him! He does not humiliate us. He and his wife have five children, fourteen grandchildren, and live in Rex, Georgia.So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?'
