God is in control of the church, and He gives every believer a job to do. Alistair Begg cautions us against comparing ourselves with others, which makes us feel inadequate and derails the work. Jesus challenged Peter to follow Him not as a casual option but as a crucial obligation for which he was uniquely equipped. We too can confidently do God’s work, knowing that His Spirit works in the lives of those who follow Him.
20Peter turned and saw hthe disciple whom Jesus loved following them, ithe one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” 21When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 22Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain juntil kI come, what is that to you? lYou follow me!” 23So the saying spread abroad among mthe brothers2 that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”
24This is the disciple nwho is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and owe know pthat his testimony is true.
25Now qthere are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that rthe world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
