A pastor decided to visit a member who had stopped attending services.
It was a chilly evening.
The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire.
Guessing the reason for his pastor's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a big chair near the fireplace and waited.
The pastor made himself comfortable but said nothing.
In the grave silence, he contemplated the play of the flames around the burning logs.
After some minutes, the pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone.
Then he sat back in his chair, still silent.
The host watched all this in quiet fascination.
As the one lone ember's flame diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more.
Soon it was cold and "dead as a doornail."
Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting.
Just before the pastor was ready to leave, he picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire.
Immediately it began to glow once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the pastor reached the door to leave, his host said, "Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon.
I shall be back in church next Sunday."

“Love to Christ is demonstrated and proved in loving, humble service.”
“Sometimes even a dedicated believer must undergo a sad experience in life before he recognizes His own weakness.”
Restoration Requires Love
Jesus’ question to Peter should challenge us:
Do you really love Me? Have you really been serving Me, for My glory, or were you serving Me for your own sake?
Do you really love Me? Have you really been serving Me, for My glory, or were you serving Me for your own sake?
Have you really been serving Me, for My glory, or were you serving Me for your own sake?
We may not all “travel” like Paul.
We need to remember after sin and failure that Jesus still loves you!
But we can all “love” like Peter!
Restoration Requires Reflection
We need to remember that after sin and failure, Jesus still loves us!
This is motivation to continue loving and serving Christ and to continue growing into a mature follower of Christ.
Restoration Requires Sacrifice
Jesus doesn’t call us to worldly success, He calls us to be faithful unto death.
Jesus calls us to be faithful unto death.
Love always requires responsibility & sacrifice.
Love always requires responsibility & sacrifice.
We may not all “travel” like Paul.
But we can all “love” like Peter!
