Hey, I was reminded of something I learn during my church camp last year.

In John 21:15-17,

Peter had denied God three times before the crucifixion..
And after He'd risen, He encountered Peter on the seashore not asking him for a confession of his sin, but a confession of his love three times, as Peter had denied him.

Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?"
Peter answered, "Yes Lord; You know that I love You."
Jesus said to Peter again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?"
Peter answered, "Yes Lord; You know that I love You."
Jesus said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?"
Peter answered, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.

The term of love in Jesus's first two question was in the term of "agapao", which means unconditional love in Greek.
Later in the third time when He asked, he used the term "phileo".

Whereas, the term of love in all of Peter's answer was in the term of "phileo", which means brotherly love in Greek.

So, the actual dialogue was..

Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you agapao me more than these?"
Peter answered, "Yes Lord; You know that I phileo You."
Jesus said to Peter again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you agapao me?"
Peter answered, "Yes Lord; You know that I phileo You."
Jesus said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you phileo me?"
Peter answered, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I phileo You.

Peter couldn't match up to Jesus' level of love.. Instead, Jesus came down to Peter's level of love.

Same goes to us, it's impossible to love like how God loves us, unconditionally.

So yeah, hope you're blessed by it :)
