If you have ever compared your life to someone else’s (who hasn’t?), you need to hear Jesus’ reply in John 21:20-25 to Peter’s curiosity about Jesus’ plan for another disciple. Also in this gospel’s final section, the author finally but partially identified himself. He was one of Jesus’ closest disciples and a reliable eyewitness to everything he reported, so we can know that it is all true.
As the second Adam and the faithful Israel, Jesus resisted temptation and so can help us when we are tempted.
Starting the day by focusing on the LORD orients the entire day toward him.
New life in Christ includes submission to governmental authorities, love for the other, and putting on Christ for all to see him.
