Peter was told by the Lord to follow Him. Instead of
responding, "Lord, by Thy grace I will," he seems to have been
occupied with his fellow-disciple John. "Lord, and what shall this man
do?" he inquired.
Answering him our Lord said, "What is that to
thee?" And He added, making it more definitely personal, "Follow thou
Me." (John 21:22)
Let us not look upon others when we should be looking on our
Lord. Whatever the other man may be called to do, and whether he
does it or not is not our business (though we should seek to help others by
example and precept).
Our business is to follow our Lord for ourselves.
