Soon after the resurrection, Jesus spoke to his disciple Peter and gave him some insight into the way he would die. Peter, concerned, questioned Jesus and asked, “What about John?” Jesus simply said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Jamie states that this comment by Jesus is the way spirit-filled Christians must approach uncertainty, including death.
