Three Questions to Peter (and to me)...

[JRogersCooper]

The parallel between the denial of Peter and the three questions about love was an awesome insight. The three questions seem to be an opportunity for redemption to take place in an area where Peter had failed the Lord (and where I have failed). It seems that for shepherds who have fallen, those who have made choices that are detrimental to the flock, there is a word of peace in the story of Jesus’ three questions to Peter: the LORD isn’t finished with you yet! The Great Shepherd is still shepherding His under-shepherds.
