Today, as we finish the Gospel of John 21:20-25, we get an opportunity to learn a bit more about Peter's personality and how easily he can be double minded about his service to the Lord! We also get an opportunity to gaze into our own hearts and see those things which may draw us away from serving Jesus unto serving our flesh and the passions/desires of it! As Peter was waiting for the Lord he saw a boat that was in the lake. It didn't take him very long to end up in that boat, with the other disciples who were fishermen, to be out fishing all night long (and back into their old ways and lives as fishermen). This was the whole point behind the questioning of Peter by Jesus concerning if Peter truly loved the Lord. The multitude of the disciples looked up to Peter and followed after his example, rather good or bad! Also, we receive a beautiful teaching of the Lord that tells us to pay attention to our own relationship to Him instead of judging ourselves based on others' relationship to Him! To stay focused on the Lord and not get carried away by those types of John we know who have a close and intimate relationship with the Lord! As we finish this Gospel there is so much to receive and so little time to receive it that we pray God's richest blessings be upon you today as you hang out with Pastor J!!!
