Dear Covenant family,

 

Do you truly love me?’ – John 21:15

 

To this fundamental question any bride or groom wants to get the right answer! A negative response would make it very clear: No wedding cake for you!

The Gospel is no different. After Peter’s dramatic failure, Christ ‘pops’ the big question: Do you love Me?  It’s a question that reveals our heart motivation. The right answer to this question is absolutely crucial in the life of a Christian when it comes to bearing fruit. A wrong answer creates ‘a brassy noise’ (1 Cor 13). This Sunday may we clearly hear His Invitation for our Wedding! (Rev 21:3)
