DO YOU LOVE ME, FEED MY SHEEP

 

John 21:1-25

Key Verse: 21:15

 

1. Read verses 1-3. To what does "Afterward" refer? Why did Peter decide to go fishing?  What was their spiritual condition? What was the result of their all night fishing?

 

2. Read verses 4-6. Why didn't the disciples recognize Jesus? How did he greet them and restore their fishing failure? Of what previous event does this remind us? (Lk 5:4-6) What does this tell us about Jesus’ purpose in appearing to his disciples in this way? 

3. Read verses 7-8. Who recognized Jesus first? Why was Peter so excited? What does this incident reveal about Peter and about Jesus?

4. Read verses 9-14. How did Jesus serve his disciples? What does this show about Jesus’ way of shepherding his disciples? Why did they need to be reassured of his unchanging love? What can we learn from Jesus?

 

5. Read verses 15-17. What did Jesus ask Peter? What does it mean to love Jesus? What was Peter’s response and Jesus’ command? How is this exchange repeated? What does it mean to “feed my lambs,” “take care of my sheep” and feed my sheep?” 

 

 

6. Read verses 18-23. What change would take place in Peter’s life as a disciple of Jesus? Why did Jesus speak about Peter’s death? Why did Peter ask about John?

  What can we learn here about the writer of this book? (24,25).
