In this second part of The Quiet but Bold Disciple, we continue examining the Apostle John through his interactions with Peter and his relationship with Jesus.
We consider John standing faithfully at the cross while Jesus entrusts His mother to his care, and then follow Peter and John as they run to the empty tomb on the morning of the resurrection. Their different personalities and actions provide another interesting glimpse into the character of these two apostles.
We then come to John 21, where Peter asks Jesus, “Lord, and what shall this man do?” Jesus’ answer – “What is that to thee? follow thou me” – provides an important lesson about keeping our attention on Christ rather than comparing our calling, circumstances, or service with those of others.
The message concludes with several practical observations about the reality of the Gospel accounts, John’s humility, friendly rivalry, the danger of comparison, and the importance of simply following Christ faithfully.
