Sometimes on this christian journey we run into distraction which prevent us from following Jesus. These distractions often come in the form of watching someone elses walk with the Lord. We often get so caught up in what is going on in other Christians life, that we fail to do that which Jesus has instructed us to do.Now I'm not saying don't be concerned about those who have fallen away or who has been lead astray,but let us not be consumed with their short comings.Let us pray for them and get back to the work of God at hand.
Now in our text,we have Peter concerned about two different things which is truly none of his business. First he ask who it was that betrayed Christ, and then he wanted to know what was John going to have to do. Now on the surface these two question seemed harmless enough.But remember Jesus had left Peter with the instructions to feed his sheep,and this should have occupied all of Peter's energy.He didn't ask how he should go about feeding the sheep instead he was concerned about stuff that had nothing to do with him.We've all been given a task to do and that should occupy our everythought and concern.We should be focused on how to lead lost souls to Christ, how to let our lights so shine before men as the lost might seek the Lord Jesus.But like Peter many of us are to busy worring about what others are doing to follow Jesus.
The Lord gave each of us a command,to go into the hedges and the highways and compel all the lost to seek the salvation of the Lord.If each of us would focus on the part we are to play in God's glorious plan of salvation we could save the world.But when we are to busy watching others we are unable to follow Jesus's instructions in His plan for our lives.What is it to us what others are doing Jesus said "follow thou me"
