Follow Thou Me

John 21 finds Jesus issuing a great piece of spiritual advice to Peter. To set the scene, Jesus has just offered a hint to Peter about how Peter will die. Peter, understandably rattled, asks Jesus to give John the same treatment.

Instead, Jesus evades Peter's request for information about John's death by saying (John 21:22, KJV),

...what is that to thee? follow thou me.

What great advice for all of us! It's easy to become distracted by complexities of this world. But spiritual living need not be complicated. Simply, we must obey him when he says, "follow thou me."
