Book of John

Well today I finished the book of John, it's been a good journey through the book. As I examine the life of Christ, and how he SERVED.
I am reminded but convicted by chapter 21 as he addresses the need to follow him.
I feel like Peter with so much zeal but not truly focusing on the Lord.
While Zeal in it's self is not bad, it can take the place of following Christ.
Peter had so much trust on Jesus, rather then in Jesus. Like Peter, I tend to be so excited for Jesus I get ahead of Jesus.
it took Jesus testing Peter by asking "do you love me?" to really challenge him.

As I finish the book of John, I see Jesus as such a servant. He laid down his life for us. Perfect example of servant hood.
He set the example of loving others, by washing his own betrayers feet.
If we obey his commandments we will love one another!
Judas and Peter both failed, Judas however choose the road of guilt.
Peter went on to be one of the founding fathers of the early church.
When we have failed, how do we react?
Jesus commands us to follow him and forsake everything not turning back.
We are each called to some form of ministry, but we must be united with Jesus.
As he prays in John 17.
