Do You Love Me?
Today’s Gospel reading zooms in on an intimate conversation between Jesus and Peter. Not long before this, at the Passion, Peter had denied Jesus three times. Now the risen Lord asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?” What’s particularly interesting about this scene is the language that Jesus and Peter use. When the Lord asks Peter, “Do you love me?” he uses the Greek word “agape,” which refers to an unconditional, sacrificial, self-giving love; the deepest love you can imagine. Surprisingly, Peter answers, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you,” but instead of “agape,” he uses the Greek word “philia,” which refers to a friendship; it’s not quite the same depth of love as “agape.” Clearly, Peter is not ready to give all that Jesus is asking for, but today’s readings are all about God’s willingness to take whatever we’re willing to give him and work with it. In the first reading this week, taken from the Acts of the Apostles, we see that Peter eventually does become willing to give his whole life for the risen Lord. This Sunday’s readings challenge us to consider what our response would be to Jesus’ question: “Do you ‘agape’ me?”
