Love Requires Commitment
John 21:15-25

Three little boys were arguing about whose mom loved them more. The first boy said, "My mom loves me more because when I gave her a quarter, she gave it back to me and told me to go buy a piece of candy."

The second little boy said that his mom loved him more. He argued, "My mom loves me more because if I gave her a quarter, she would give me two quarters back and tell me to go buy two pieces of candy.

The third lad saw how this was developing, thought for a moment, and said, "My mom loves me the most because if I gave her a quarter she would keep it and tell me how much my quarter is going to help pay the bills.

Love requires a commitment. Jesus required it of Peter; He requires it of us today.
