Jesus said
to Peter, "Follow Me"
John 21:15-19
My words to Peter when I called
him from his work of fishing were
to call him to commitment. Faithfully
he followed , learning and seeking
to understand all that I taught
him during those years of My ministry.
And so with all My Apostles . Now,
by the Sea of Galilee ,once again,
after My Resurrection I call Peter
to follow - this time in service
to others.
The time had come and it comes
to every one of My disciples who
learn of Me and commit themselves
to the service of their Heavenly
Father in and through Me - the time
comes when each must become a vessel
of indwelling for the caring and
ingathering of others in the way.
Only in constant commitment and
faithfulness can this be done, but
the whole creation waits upon the
perfection in each and every child
of the Father of what he must become
and do. But those of the Father's
beloved children who have most fulfilled
this challenge and responsibility
to wholeness and holiness are most
aware that the doing of this work
of caring, feeding, tending, is
by Me through them. It is I who
minister through their loving obedience.
So the following in faith and trust
and love is all, and all is contained
in it. So has it been from the beginning
of time and so will it be until
the glorious celebration of fulfilment.
