The devil never<br \/>\nhurts there, neither sin nor human affection hurts there, nothing<br \/>\ngoes through to that place but the word of God. &#8220;Peter was grieved<br \/>\nbecause Jesus said unto him the third time. . . .&#8221; He was awakening<br \/>\nto the fact that in the real true centre of his personal life he was<br \/>\ndevoted to Jesus, and he began to see what the patient questioning<br \/>\nmeant. There was not the slightest strand of delusion left in Peter&#8217;s<br \/>\nmind, he never could be deluded again. There was no room for<br \/>\npassionate utterance, no room for exhilaration or sentiment. It was a<br \/>\nrevelation to him to realize how much he did love the Lord, and with<br \/>\namazement he said &#8211; &#8220;Lord, Thou knowest all things.&#8221; Peter began to<br \/>\nsee how much he did love Jesus; but he did not say &#8211; &#8220;Look at this or<br \/>\nthat to confirm it.&#8221; Peter was beginning to discover to himself how<br \/>\nmuch he did love the Lord, that there was no one in heaven above or<br \/>\nupon earth beneath beside Jesus Christ; but he did not know it until<br \/>\nthe probing, hurting questions of the Lord came. The Lord&#8217;s questions<br \/>\nalways reveal me to myself.<\/p>\n<p>The patient directness and skill of Jesus Christ with Peter! Our Lord<br \/>\nnever asks questions until the right time. Rarely, but probably once,<br \/>\nHe will get us into a corner where He will hurt us with His<br \/>\nundeviating questions, and we will realize that we do love Him far<br \/>\nmore deeply than any profession can ever show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesus said unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me? &#8212; John 21:17 Have you felt the hurt of the Lord to the uncovered quick, the place where the real sensitiveness of your life is lodged?
