Follow Me (John 21:19)

2024-01-17

This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. (John 21:19)

After challenging Peter’s love for Him, Jesus explained how Peter would die by crucifixion. The Lord then said, “Follow me.” To follow Jesus, it is being willing to die as He did. We know that Peter did eventually die by crucifixion according to church history. To follow Jesus is to know the cost and follow Him anyway.

Salvation is free, but to follow Him is everything. We are going to lose everything anyway when we die. We only give up what we are going to lose anyway.
