Follow Christ On His Path For You    

 

John 21:18-25 (NASB)
18  "Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."
19  Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, "Follow Me!"
20  Peter, turning around, *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
21  So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"
22  Jesus *said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"
23  Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"
24  This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
25  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.

 

 

  1. Stay On Your Path Even When Its Hard

John 21:18-19 (NASB)
18  "Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."
19  Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, "Follow Me!"

 

 

  1. Don’t Compare Your Path To Another’s

John 21:20-22 (NASB)
20  Peter, turning around, *saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had leaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"
21  So Peter seeing him *said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"
22  Jesus *said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"

 

 

 

  1. While On Your Path, Continually Testify To Glorify God 

John 21:23-25 (NASB)
23  Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"
24  This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
25  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not contain the books that *would be written.

 

 

 

 

John 20:30-31 (NASB)
30  Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
31  but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.
