What is That to You?

John 21:22

Jesus said to him, if it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? Come yourself after me.

Bible Reading for a year:[bible]Genes16-17[/bible];[bible]Matth5:27-48[/bible];[bible]0John21-23[/bible]

When you attend a children’s choir concert, you’re not surprised when the children look everywhere and not at the director. They wiggle, squirm, and poke each other. They stand on tiptoes to search for parents in the audience. They raise their hands to wave when they see them. Oh, yes, and they occasionally sing. We smile at their antics. The behavior is cute in children. It’s not so cute when adult choir members don’t watch the conductor. Good music depends on singers who pay attention to the director so they can stay together as they sing.

Christians sometimes are like singers in a children’s choir. Instead of looking at Jesus, the great Conductor of the symphony of life, we are busy squirming or looking at each other or watching the audience. Jesus admonished Peter for such behavior. After He told him what would be required of him, Peter pointed to John and asked, “What about him?” Jesus answered with a question: “What is that to you? You follow Me” ([bible]0John21:22[/bible]). Sometimes we are distracted by what others are doing. We think God’s plan for their life is better than His plan for ours. But God’s plan for each of us is the same: Follow Jesus. When we watch Him intently, we’ll not be distracted by God’s plan for anyone else.

Being focus to His way and direction only, then He will lead you up and do not let yourself be distracted by anything which is able to shake on you.
