Our path

John 21:15-23 documents the account when Jesus reinstates Peter. There are a number of great lessons in this passage but this week we are focusing on just one of them. In verses 18 and 19, Jesus alludes to "the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God". Upon hearing from Jesus that he would be crucified, Peter looks at John and says "what about him?". Jesus responds by basically saying mind your own business - "what is that to you". Please read the whole passage to get the full context.

This brings us to our topic for this week. God has made each of us unique. We have a unique purpose and as such, He has planned out a unique path for each of us. Jesus was admonishing Peter to keep his eyes on his own path. We don't want to fall into the trap of looking with envy on the path of another.

So this week let's pray about our own unique path. That we accept it… embrace it… surrender to it.

Have a great week and a great fast.
Your brother,
Bob
