Gospel John 21:20-25
Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved, the one who had also reclined upon his chest during the supper and had said, "Master, who is the one who will betray you?" When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about him?" Jesus said to him, "What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me." So the word spread among the brothers that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not told him that he would not die, just "What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours?"
It is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
Reflection The relationship that God has with us, is one of intimacy. And it’s something that grows slowly and develops more in some than others. And what Jesus is saying in this passage is that, Why compare where someone is in their spiritual life with God, with where you are? Why are you doing that? Just follow God, follow Jesus, follow your destiny.
That's your responsibility, not to compare to somebody else.
Closing Prayer Father, competition is something that doesn't fit in the spiritual world, but we get caught up in it. And we can be envious, and we can be thinking that we're better than someone else. So take those things away from us, let each individual be honored for where they are with their God. Long for their faith to deepen. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
