Acts 25:13-21 / John 21:15-19
Most of us in our lifetime would not probably make any headline news.
And we certainly won't want to make the headline news for the wrong reasons.
So did it ever cross St. Paul's mind that he would make the headlines during his time?
He may have been zealous and committed about his religious convictions, whether as a Pharisee or a Christian, but would he ever have thought that he would be brought before governors and kings and emperors?
He had travelled far and wide to preach the Good News but did it ever cross his mind that his name will be mentioned in the circles of power and authority?
St. Paul did not know what was in store for him when he decided to follow Jesus but he just let the Lord lead him.
Similarly, when St Peter said that he loved Jesus, did he know what was in store for him?
Most probably not, because just like most of us, they also do not know what the future has in store for them.
But like St. Peter and St. Paul, let us put our faith in Jesus and look at the future with hope.
Jesus has already prepared the future for us. Let us continue to love Jesus and walk confidently into the future with Jesus.
