From A Distance
October 8th, 2008 by hoseab
Peter followed Him at a distance.”
Events were falling into place. Prophecy was being fulfilled. Jesus was being led from the Garden of Gethsemane. Peter - brash, bold, Peter - was following. Luke adds this note: at a distance.
Is that me I see? Am I a “distant” follower of my Lord? Do I follow Him as long as the sun is shining, and abandon Him when darkness reigns? Is my following contingent upon my circumstances or upon my puny ability to understand His omnipotence?
It is better to follow at a distance than to not follow at all, but it is best to stay by the Savior’s side, even if He is walking to the Place of the Skull.
Stay close!
Hosea
