What Is It To You?


Listen Later

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!!!
