Jesus asks this question to you and me. He asks, “Do you love me?” Jesus asked this question three times at one stretch during a conversation with Peter.
What would you honestly reply to Jesus when He asks you? Would you be able to sincerely answer Jesus? This question is very important and the reason you are reading this question is only because you desire to answer it correctly when he asks you. This is not a casual question. Only since the answer is important, Jesus asks this question repeatedly. This is the one question Jesus is eager to know your answer.
Those of you who are married know that your spouse asks a similar question, probably every week. I am happily married, and we have been blessed with nearly three decades of peace and joy.
