In this sermon, we looked at how John ended his Gospel with Jesus' invitation to Peter and John to follow Him and trust Him with the outcomes of their life stories. In this closing scene, Peter asks Jesus what the outcome of John’s life will be and Jesus responds by making it clear that He alone will be the author of John's story. Then Jesus says, “Follow me,” inviting Peter to surrender his life and trust in Him. At the end of his Gospel, John says that there aren't enough books in the world to contain all the stories of Jesus. That's because Jesus is still writing His story, which includes your story. Jesus is extending the same invitation to you: “Follow me.” This simple invitation means fully trusting Jesus and submitting your life to Him as the primary author of your story. Have you truly surrendered your life to His invitation?
