Read <Jn 21:20-25>

<Jn 21:20> Instead of looking upon the Lord, Peter directed his focus on John.

<Jn 21:21> The common weaknesses of disciples: Either comparison or take each other as standard.

<Jn 21:22> Christian Living which follows the Lord

1) Why did believers always miss following the Lord?

① Because rely on experiences or feelings.

② Because only pursue knowledge.

③ Because over-emphasize on formalities.

④ Because seek miracles.

2) What is following the Lord?

① Incarnation - He explained, taught, lived out and fulfilled every Word.

② Through FAITH in the Word Christ revealed.

③ Ultimately, have to OBEY what he has believed.

3) <Jn 21:23> God has prepared the unique way for everyone of us.

4) <Jn 21:24> We are all witnesses.

5) <Jn 21:25> The Lord’s work is not only limited to the Apostles, but also upon every believer of the Lord.
