Follow Me...Love Jesus
The words "Follow Me" rang loud and clear at different times in the disciples' lives. Early after a year of watching Jesus the four fishermen, Peter, James, John and Andrew left everything in order to follow Him, Matthew left his tax booth at once. Now in John 21 those words rang loud and clear with a sense of restoration and reinstatement and forgiveness.

Follow Me
John 21:15When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." 19(This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, "Follow me." 20Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?" 21When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?” 22Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!"

Chainless
Life shames in so many ways. But it's not necessary to live with that shame. God wants to take away our shame and makes us shameless. When we accept and begin to live out the truth of his grace, we can live more boldly, more confidently, shamelessly!
