June 18, 2025 – Feed My Sheep
John 21:16-17
Sermon: 2483 The Soul Winner’s Six Mighty Motivations, Part 1
Pray Over This
“He said to him again a second time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.’ He said to him, ‘Tend My sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, 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, ‘Feed My sheep.’”
John 21:16-17
Ponder This
In this passage, Jesus called Peter to display his love for Christ by caring for those Christ cares for. We are also called to this. How can you say you love Jesus but not be concerned for souls that He died for? You may say, “That’s not my gifting.” But Jesus Christ said to Peter, “Do you love Me? Then feed My sheep.” We don’t primarily care for others because of our gifts and natural tendencies, but because we love Jesus.
What drives me is not my love for people; it is my love for Jesus. Yes, I love people, but the chief motivation of my life is His love for me and, therefore, His love through me.
- Are you motivated to share the Gospel? Why or why not?
- How has your love for Jesus changed your motivation in life?
Practice This
Praise God and thank Him for giving you life in Him. Ask Him to grow your motivation and boldness to share Him with others.
