MORE THAN (John 21)

I. MORE THAN Means Loving Jesus  

^{John 21:15} When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”  

II. MORE THAN Means Serving Others

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”   ¹⁶Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you truly

love me? ” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”  Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” ¹⁷The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”  Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” ¹⁸Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. 

III. MOST: God is Love

^{1 John 4:7} Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. ¹³ This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁵ If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. ¹⁶ God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
