The Gospel of John - Service, Not Envy

Read John 21:18-21

Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” - John 21:21 (NLT)


We are called to focus our thoughts on God and His mission for us. The temptation is to compare our recognition and honor to the recognition and honor given to others, to compare our sacrifice to the sacrifice of others. This is especially true when recognition and honor do not come to us, or when great sacrifice is required of us. Even the Apostle Peter was not immune to this. So continue to focus on God alone, so as to avoid comparing yourself with other Christians.
