Called to Discipleship
TURNING TO
CHRIST
WITH FULL PURPOSE
OF HEART
Following Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, He met with several of His disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee as they came in from fishing, Peter's former career. Confusion is apparent regarding what they should do following those two events that tested their faith and changed their lives forever. Christ posed a powerful question to Peter: "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" It was not a question about fish, but about devotion.
Peter answered that he did love the Lord, and Christ replied, "Feed my sheep." He asked the question three times. In doing so, Christ was clearly testing and reawakening Peter's commitment and calling him once again to a life of discipleship.
Peter had been called to follow the Lord-and so have we all. The unanswered question for each of us is this: Will we, like Peter, turn to Christ with full purpose of heart?
This book explores the essential relationship between love and discipleship.
