Peter followed at a distance after Jesus was betrayed with a kiss. He denied Jesus three times, even to a teenager. Many legitimately, truly, honestly do follow Jesus. But they follow at a distance, because they don't want to appear too radical or out of balance with the lukewarm world around them. Moreover, they think they are safe at a distance. They are actually in greater danger! When Jesus calls a person to follow him, he calls him to follow in his footsteps, which means right behind him. But some hold back, thinking that the closer they are to Jesus the greater their danger will be. When we follow Jesus at a distance, we are in danger of denying Him.
