The vvldeHproiul interprvtatlon Is that Jesus practically asked the same question three times and Peter an swered three times, assuring Christ that he did love Him, but the dialogue Is ^*ry different from that. In the 13th chapter of 1st Corinthians we have a divine definition of love as It ifc de scribed nowhere else and you may know that the Greek noun translated love In this 13th chapter Is an unfa miliar noun in the GreAk and It was a word to express the highest form of love." Then Dr. Johnston went on to say that this was the word Christ used n the first two questions, and Peter, in answering. used the more ordinary word, .d/noting a lower form of love, saying: "Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee.” In the third question Christ descended to this lower word and asked Peter if he loved Him this way, and it was this that broke Pe ters heart, and when answered, then Christ said: "Well. Peter, go out and prove it. Prove that you love Me— feed My lambs." In hi* closing appeal Dr. Johnston said: "You wifi remem ber that toward the end of the dark ness. when Christ was crucified. He cried: ‘I thirst.' Now.
