We are reminded of Peter's response when our Lord predicted that He would be crucified. Peter had tried to step out in front. Rather than being behind Jesus and following, he wanted to be in charge and determine the direction, which would have excluded Christ's crucifixion. Jesus tells him to get back behind Him. We also, though not part of the original group of disciples, have trouble with wanting to step out in front of Jesus.
Many people just come up with their own directions.
Rather than submit to our Lord, they go in front and try to be the leader. We find people make moral choices which are in conflict with the leadership of Jesus. Instead of following the way our Lord leads, we go our own way. We also find people who do not want to follow God's directions when it comes to the practices and teaching of the local congregation. Rather than have Jesus be in front, the congregation is treated as a possession of the people who are members.
