The third time Jesus appeared to His disciples after He had risen, was at the water side where the disciples had fished all night and caught nothing. Jesus told them to lower their net on the right side of the boat, they caught lots of fish.
After they had breakfast Christ spoke to Peter. He asked Peter three times if he loved Him, each time Peter said yes.
Jesus said “feed My lambs”
“take care of My sheep”
“feed My sheep”
Study tells us that this was done to show Peter that he had to be completely devoted to Jesus. Peter was to lead the apostles. Without complete devotion he would not be effective.
Our lives are similar, if we are not completely devoted to Christ how can we be effective disciples?
What will people see in us if we are Christians only on Saturday or Sunday, and then only a few days each year?
To be effective you must be a Christ follower all day every day.
