Follow me! These are the last words of this week’s Gospel. Leading up to this, Jesus asked Peter if he truly loves him. He asked Peter this three times to which Peter responded, “yes, Lord, I love you.” Christ then tells Peter to feed, care for, and nurture his flock here on earth. He warns Peter of the suffering that he will endure as one of his disciples and workers in the church. And when he knew that Peter truly loved him and wanted to serve him, he simply said, “Follow me.”
Jesus tells us to follow him as well. If we truly love him, we will follow him. We will be his current day disciples. We will lead his church. We will spread his gospel. We will make new disciples. We will spread his love and we will care for, feed, and nurture his flock.
Are you ready to “follow” Christ?

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. 33 Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
