“Simon son of John, Do you love me more than these others do.?” (John 21:15)
The first question was this….
“Simon son of John, Do you love me more than these others do?”
“Yes Lord, You know that I love you”
Then Jesus gives a duty to him to “take care of my LAMPS”
(If he limited his answer in first two words. Might be Jesus didn’t repeat the question)
The second question was a little different and shorter than the first…
“Simon son of John, Do you love me?”
But his answer was same like the first
“Yes Lord, You know that I love you”
Then Jesus gives a duty to him to “take care of my SHEEP”
(If he sensor his answer by half; Might be Jesus avoided the repetition.
I think his answer was interchanged)
The third question was same like the second question..
“Simon son of John, Do you love me?”
This time Peter was sad by repeating the same question.
Then he answered…
“Lord you know everything; you know that I love you!”
Jesus again said to him to “take care of my SHEEP”
(Jesus repeated the same second answer. Anyway this is the right answer which
came from his heart and also Jesus may expected the same)
We may have also same situations might happen:
So avoid the repetition of questions from Christ by giving the right answer.
May GOD bless you to say the RIGHT ANSWER all the time.
