In this final chapter of John as we finish the Gospels of Jesus Christ, we read the final documented interaction with His disciples. As Jesus commands Peter to feed His sheep, Peter turns around and looks at John and asks Jesus, “What about Him?” Jesus responds in John 21:22, Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” In other words, “Peter, worry about yourself.” The same advice applies to us. We worry too much about the rest of the world and the influence it has on others. We need to spend the majority of our energy and time worrying about our own relationship with God. While Jesus plainly commands us to “Feed His sheep”, when it comes to relationship, the only one we can control is our own.
