What is that to You, Follow ME!

In the Bible in John 21:15-23, Jesus Spoke to Simon Peter, son of John about what the Love of Christ meant. Peter was asked THREE times by Jesus, “Do you Love Me more than these (The other Apostles and Disciples). Peter replied, “Yes, Master, You know that I Love You.” But, what KIND of LOVE was Peter telling Jesus he had for Him? There are FOUR kinds of Love translated from the original Greek. First, what is translated as “STORCH” Love. That is the kind of Love that a parent has for their child. Second, is “EROS” Love, that is based on Physical Passions. Third, is “Phileo” Love, that is the love someone has for an intimate friend. Lastly, there is “AGAPE” love, and that is the highest committed Love of God to us. So, which kind of Love was Peter telling Jesus that Peter had? (Remember, Peter had denied Jesus Three times prior to Jesus’ crucifixion). Peter knew that he had failed Jesus in a Human way. He could now only say that “I love you” in the “Phileo” way, because he now knew that he was only a mere Human with faults (Sins). So, Jesus told Peter to #1 “FEED My lambs”, and #2, “Shepherd My sheep”, and #3, “FEED My sheep.” And also, Not to ask about other’s working for Him (Christ), but to, “Follow Me.” (Not compare your ministry or yourself with others). Jesus acknowledged Peter’s Humanness; He forgave him THREE times, just as Peter had prior denied Jesus THREE times. But, the amazing thing now was that Jesus knew that Peter had Repented and now could follow Him (Jesus). And, to “Follow Him” meant that like Peter, we must all who Believe in Christ Love Him as a human being, even when we are still faulty and sinners. (The Holy Spirit will Counsel and Guide and Comfort us in His purposes). Each of us can be a “Friend” of Christ, even though we are not yet perfected as humans. And, as my distant relative Chuck Smith of CCO Costa Mesa once told me, "You must follow Christ and build with Him whatever He decides to do with you." At the time, I did not understand him, but after some years passed I now do. I am trying to build upon The Rock, Jesus Christ with Him and not on my own way. Because His ways and His thoughts are Higher than mine (And ours). So, I do this simple ministry of writing and some few outreaches to the lost and needy because I do Love My God deep within. My (Our) work at “New Destinies” is as faulty sinners trying to be a “Friend” of Jesus (Phileo) and hopefully reach the high calling of “Agape” Love that Christ first showed to us through His Words in the Bible and Gospel of “Good News.” I do this as a writer and unifier between the Church mostly, that is my calling, and only as The Holy Spirit Counseling and through me to the Lost any way that I can for Our Father God. Will you join us? We have Much to DO to FEED and Shepherd (FEED translated from Greek means: Both Literally Physically and Spiritually) the Lost sheep in the world. And, remember, what Jesus said in John 15:13, “No one has greater Love than to lay down their life for His friends.” P.S. You may also like reading, “The Four Loves”, by C.S. Lewis.
