What it is like to follow Jesus? Dan Green looks at Simon Peter, whose story and character show several relatable sides to this.

Peter\u2019s choice to follow and believe in Jesus was remarkable, given his life experience, but maybe not as much as Jesus\u2019 choice to call and believe in Peter first. Peter\u2019s response to Jesus involved much practical learning, faith risks, new experiences and changes of mind. His life became an emotional rollercoaster at times, but even though his low points included denying being a follower, Jesus restored him to the heights of trust and leadership responsibility because of the love he saw in Peter.

Dan asks four questions for reflection:

• What is Jesus inviting you into at the moment?
• How strong is your desire to say yes and to follow?
• Where are we asking \u2018Lord if it\u2019s you, please speak\u2019?
• Where do we need God\u2019s acceptance and affirmation?
