Did Jesus have memory issues

and forget what he just said?
We sincerely doubt that to be the issue here.
Better minds than ours have beautifully
interpreted the meaning of this dialog.
But
in a more current context.
The better part of that memory involves my feet.

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Now that I can dance...

ReplyDeletebut when Simon Peter said to Jesus
Yes, I Love You it meant
very little to the Savior.
A lot of people in the world love Jesus
but very few of them feed his lambs.
Jesus would prefer if the opposite was true.
