You Follow Me
I have to be gently reminded to follow his lead and focus on my own path, rather than worrying about others’ faith journeys or what they have or do in the faith. Just follow.
“Jesus answered, ‘If I want him to remain until I return, what is that to you? You follow Me!’”
Shepherd’s Note
Twice in John 21 the risen Jesus says it, and the second time it lands like a command given to every believer since: You follow me. Peter’s question about John’s future gets a gentle rebuke, because another man’s calling is not Peter’s business. Comparison is the thief of obedience; it always offers a reason to look sideways instead of forward. The entry is honest about needing the reminder, about named men whose faith journeys look different from his own. The cure is not information about them. It is eyes back on Jesus, following.
