By thus addressing him it would the more afâ€" fect him and bring vividly before him his denial. lovest thou meâ€"There were wpecial reasons why this cgl:stion should be put to Peter: 1. He d denied his love for Christ and there was reason for Christ to suspect his love. 2. He must learn that love to Christ is the thing most commendable and the surest proof of penitence. There is a curious change of terms here. Jesus uses the word love three times in his questions and Peter uses it three times in his answers, but the word which Jesus uses in his first two â€" questions is agnpoa, which means to love supremely, perfectly, whereas â€" the _ word _ which Peter uses in all of his answers, and which Jesus uses in His last question, is phileo, a verb used to express merely natural affection and may be translated to like, to regard, to feel friendship for. . The word used by Jesus in His first quesâ€" tions was a stronger, deeper word than Peter dared to use. More than theseâ€" ‘That is, more than these other disciples love me. Others think that by . "more than these." Jesus meant the boat, nets and fishâ€"in fact, His business. Whether Christ meant this or not, it should be remembered that if our love to Christ is perfect, we shall love Him more than we love our earthly possessions, Whatâ€" ever Jesus meant, to us it means that we are to give Christ the first place in our affections. Peter avoided any reference to this part of the question. Thou knowest that I love theeâ€"He knew that there was love in his heart.

Although during the night was the best time to fi"’fi" that night they caught nothing. ere were plenty of fish in the lake and under orâ€" dinary cireumstances they would have eaught them; but our Lord evidently perfiormed a miracle to keep the fish out of the net until the proper time, when, by performing another miracle, he could fill the net and thus make a strong imâ€" pression upon them. In the early mornâ€" ing Jesus appeared on the shore, but they did not recognize him. He called to them, asked them if they had any meat, and told them where to cast their net in order to find. "They cast, thereâ€" fore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes." John at onee caid, "It is the Lord." As soon as he heard this, Peter put on his outer coat, "for he was naked" (naked may mean nothing more thar being desâ€" titute of his upper garment, or it may mean stripped to his waistcoat), and waded or swam ashore, as they were only two hundred cubits (one hundred yards) from land.

"Lovest thou Me more than these?" "I love thee." When Peter loved little he said "Altnough all shell be ofâ€" fended, yet will not I" (Mark 14.29). When he loved much he had no comparâ€" isons to make. Those who love most never boast, Peter‘s love was to be provâ€" ed by feeding the sheep, not by putting Himself above them; by sympathy with them, not by superiority over them (1 Peter 5. 24). Not to outrank but to outlove should be our ambition. °4. Positive. "Lord thou knowest" (vs, 15â€"17).

I heard you preach _ last Sunday evening, and it pleased God to bless that sermon to my soul. Not so much what you said, as your manner of speaking struck me.

In His first question the Lord used the word agapao, expressing reverential love, putting Peter in the place of a disâ€" ciple. Peter responded with phileo, . a word denoting warm, personal devotion. The same distinction is in the second question. The third time the Lord adoptâ€" ed Peter‘s own utterance. Peter, alâ€" though grieved was positive in his stateâ€" ment. $ 22. That he tarry till I comeâ€"There is great difference of opinion as to Christ‘s meaning. By the words "till I come," did Jesus mean His second coming, and that John was never to die; or His comâ€" ing to destroy Jerusalem; or did He mean that John was to remain at that place until He and Peter returned from a private interview? John lived for many years after the destruction of Jerusalem, and was the only one of the apostles who did not die a violent death. The disciples themselves Anderstood that Jesus meant that John should not die (v. 23). "Who can say when or how he died? St. John himself, at the time of writing this gospel, seems not to have known clearly whether he should die or not" (Benson); he merely stated what Jesus had said, and if he understood he did not think it proper to explain. John Wesley thinks John did not see death, but was translated. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. 1. Restoration. "Jesus saith to Simor Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" (v. 15). The genâ€" tleness of the rebuke in this public resâ€" toration of Peter was like our Lord, By "a fire of coals" (John 21. 9) Peter denâ€" ied his Lord (John 18. 18) with a threeâ€" fold lie (Matt. 26. 75). In the presence thee! 5. Practical. "Feed my lambs" (v. 15.) With Bible stories, Bible precepts, Bible promises. Teach them the love of the good Shepherd, the beauty of green for Christ, that "he begged to be eruciâ€" fied with his head downwards, not thinkâ€" ing himself worthy to die in the same posture in which his Lord did." t â€"â€"Peter evidently understood the words literally and started to follow Jesus, as in "turning about" he saw John; but no doubt the command should be underâ€" stood in a figurative sense. Peter was asked to follow Jesus during his whole future earthly life even through sufferâ€" ing and death; and this the apostle did without swerving. 20. Seeth the disciple That is, Peter turned about and saw John, the author of this gospel, followâ€" ing. Which also leaned, etw.â€"See John 13, 21â€"25. 21.

Glorify Godâ€"The good man glori fies God in his death as well as in his life (Psa. 116, 15; Phil. 1, 20). In an especial manner did the death of the martyrs glorify God; for they gave their lives in defence of the truth. Follow me x A summer coat of pongee in natural color with collar of phire velvet.

He could have reversed the dark picâ€" ture, and instead of a scene of hardship and trial ending in the horror of eruciâ€" fixion, given to this tried and tested disâ€" cipline a life of triumphant glory ending in translation. But God sees not with our eyes. For himself Christ chose the life of sorrow and the cross of shame for the glory set before him (Heb. 12, 2.) He knew it all, and yet he could decree it for this loved disciple. "This spake he, signifving by what death he should glorâ€" ify God" (v. 19.) This explains all.
