In Week 6 of our series 7 Questions Jesus Asked, Pastor Marek Kowalsky delves into the depths of our relationship with Christ. The story of Peter's restoration in John 21 serves as a backdrop, revealing the complexity of love in our faith journey. We're challenged to consider: Is our love for Jesus a choice, a feeling, or both? Pastor Marek unpacks the Greek words 'agape' and 'phileo', showing how our love for Jesus should be both a committed choice and an emotional connection. Just as Jesus met Peter where he was, He meets us in our imperfect love, calling us to grow deeper. This message encourages us to build a 'structure of behavior' to support our love for Jesus, reminding us that loving Him often means loving His people - the church. As we reflect on Christ's sacrificial love for us, we're inspired to respond with both discipline and heartfelt devotion.
