The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 21:21-22, “So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, ‘Lord, and what

about this man?’ Jesus said to him, ‘If I want him to remain until I come,

what is that to you? You follow Me!’”

Some lessons are hard to learn. Do you remember when the disciples

found someone casting out demons, but was not following along with

them? (Luke 9:49) They told him to stop! Well, Jesus told them

not to hinder the man because anyone who is not against you is for you.

Now, in our verse above, Peter wants to know what John’s task is; and

Jesus has to say again, That’s not your business; just follow Me.

Others don’t always do what we think they should. That’s just none of

our business. Of course, we should witness to the lost. But, if they

reject our witness, that is their business, not ours. The work that some

people undertake may not be where we think they’re best suited. That

is their business, not ours. We have one major responsibility; that is

to follow Jesus and His will for our own lives. Tough lesson sometimes;

but one that we must all learn.

Love you each and every one,

Nana & Dado III
