This exploration of John 21:18-25 confronts us with one of life's most challenging questions: what do we do when God's plan for our lives includes suffering we never asked for? Peter receives the shocking news that he will die a martyr's death, and his very human response reveals something we all struggle with—the sin of comparison. When Peter looks at John and asks, 'What about this man?' Jesus responds with piercing clarity: 'What is that to you? You follow me.' This passage dismantles our tendency to measure our worth, our circumstances, and even God's love by comparing ourselves to others. We learn that life isn't primarily about us—we exist for God's glory, and we can glorify Him both in our successes and our sufferings. The remedy for comparison isn't to suppress our questions or feelings, but to redirect our focus entirely onto Christ. Following Jesus means going where He went—to worship, to the marginalized, and yes, even to the cross. The beautiful truth woven throughout this message is that even our most senseless suffering is not purposeless. Through a moving testimony about a father whose faithful death ultimately led to his brother's salvation, we see that God uses our faithfulness in suffering to accomplish purposes far beyond what we can imagine. Whether we're in a season of blessing or hardship, our calling remains the same: fix our eyes on Jesus and follow Him, trusting that in His glory we find our greatest good.
