    This message explains the meaning of real love.

    Text: “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” (I John 4:8).

    Jesus asks Peter if he loves him and if he is truly ready to become a disciple. It is a question that Jesus asks of us today. If we know he loves us, how come we don't always do what he wants us to do which is to spread his message to others.

    Our reading this morning comes from the book of John Chapter 21: verses 1-19. It is a story that we might be familiar with, but if not it is an easy story to follow.
