Peter turned and saw the follower that Jesus loved walking behind them. (This was the follower that had leaned against Jesus at the supper and said, Lord, who will turn against you?) When Peter saw this follower behind them he asked Jesus, Lord, what about him? Jesus answered, Maybe I want him to live until I come. That should not be important to you. You follow me! — John 21:20-22 Thought: It is so hard not to compare! We want to compare our lot with others. We want to compare our future with others. We want to compare our faith, our church, our efforts... Christianity isnt about comparing. God doesnt grade on the curve. He calls us to follow him whole-heartedly through the course of our uniquely important and distinctive life. Comparing ourselves to others is the cause of envy, jealousy, strife, covetousness, resentment, and a host of other sins. Instead, we are to follow and serve and help encourage others to do the same!
