What is that to you?


With my personality I want things in life to be fair, equal and with no one person favored over another. That being said I empathize with Peter. Jesus said to Peter, “I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me” (John 21:18-19, 21, 23 NIV)! Peter’s first reaction was to look at fellow disciple John and ask Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus sidestepped Peter’s question and went to the heart of the issue, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
