How many times does Jesus need to ask Peter the same question?!?!?! Especially when Peter replies “YES” each time, this kind of questioning can seem like overkill. But, Jesus is asking something far different than an initial glance will give to us. He also asks the same question of us! But, know that there has been ample grace shown in Peter’s life and there will be ample grace shown to us by Christ in our life!

There have been other profound examples of this kind of love throughout history–which this song talks about. What are some examples of unconditional, self-giving love that you have seen in your life lately?
