Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?
Follow me!"
My parents took me to church and Sunday School every Sunday. They were involved in the
outreach and work of the church. They taught us to pray before we ate. They made church an
important part of my life. I have had many people ask me if my dad was a minister. Wondering if I
was in the ministry because I was following my father's footsteps. I was following but they were
ordinary people. Sinners just like you and me who found God's grace. And I am working to build
on the foundation they laid for me.
(John 21:22
NRSV)
The disciples spent the better part of three years traveling around with Jesus. After Pentecost it
was time for the disciples to put the teachings of Jesus into practice. They were the ones
responsible for spreading the Good News "in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends
of the earth." We follow in those special footsteps.
Dear Jesus, continue to move me to follow closely in your footsteps. Amen.
