Asking someone if they love us can be a dangerous question. We may hear the right answer while their body language communicates something different. They may view love differently than we do or to a different degree than what we had hoped. Even though this may be a dangerous question, it is an important question so we can know the potential for that relationship. Jesus asked Peter this question to help Peter reflect on his future.

Jesus restore Peter after his denial of Christ by giving him the command to feed His sheep. In our final study of John, we will focus on the encouraging truth that believers are offered God’s grace even when they fail.
