JOH 21:3
I go a fishing.  .  .  .  We also go with thee.
John 21:3
Peer pressure (or how your actions are affected by those around you) can come from other Christians. In our verse Peter decided that, seeing the Lord wasn’t with them anymore like He used to be, now would be a good time to go back to the old life of fishing. His decision affected several of the other disciples and they all went back to what they had done before they met the Lord. This wasn’t wrong in itself, but the Lord was left out. And He had to come and show them in a dramatic way that they needed to put Him first. Be careful of Christian peer pressure. It’s not always right.
