My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus greetings to you. When the Lord asked Apostle Peter 3 times if he loved Him, he said ‘more than these’; to show that there’s a certain depth that Christ Jesus expected out of the ordinary.
John 21:15-17
[15]When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these [others do–with reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion, as one loves the Father]? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You [that I have deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend]. He said to him, Feed My lambs.
[16]Again He said to him the second time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me [with reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion, as one loves the Father]? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You [that I have a deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend]. He said to him, Shepherd (tend) My sheep.
[17]He said to him the third time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me [with a deep, instinctive, personal affection for Me, as for a close friend]? Peter was grieved (was saddened and hurt) that He should ask him the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You [that I have a deep, instinctive, personal affection for You, as for a close friend]. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.

When you look and see you will realise that the first greatest commandment speaks of our Love for and towards God with our every being. Your love Christ Jesus must be more than that of your neighbour or the person next to you. It’s not a matter of competition but it is matter of relationship.
Today and yesterday I heard the Father ask this question and He said,’ put it out there so that I will get answers as they read.’
“[Your name ] Do you love me more than these?!”
Brothers and sisters this is the question the Father is asking as He asked the Apostle Peter.
What is your answer to this one?
