Acts 28:16-20, 30-31 / John 21:20-25
To be focused is a desired attitude for ourselves.
And if we are a superior or a supervisor, then we would expect that from our subordinates.
When we are focused, and when our team-mates are focused, then the targets and the objectives will be achieved.
But we also know that we can’t keep focused for too long.
We get distracted by many things as well as by other people.
In the gospel, Peter turned and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them, and he asked Jesus, and he asked Jesus about him.
The reply of Jesus to Peter was rather sharp: What does it matter to you? You are to follow me.
Earlier, Peter had professed his love for Jesus three times, and then now, he got distracted with the other disciple.
The reply of Jesus is also for us to reflect and to be aware of our focus as well as our distractions.
We need to keep our focus on Jesus and to follow Him alone.
Of all the distractions that come our way, we need to be aware that we ourselves are our biggest distraction.
Prayer will help us keep focused on Jesus. Let us keep praying and keep following Jesus.
