Choosing to walk the path of discipleship,
striving to follow in the Lord's footsteps,
hoping to become like Jesus
brings with it great responsibility.
The Lord, as my Shepherd
has asked
the question
to all followers of Christ
"Lovest thou ME?"
"Feed my SHEEP !"
In John 21:15-17
Jesus asks of His beloved Peter...
not once,
but three times
The Shepherd loves all His SHEEP.
He knows them by name
and longs that not a single one,
lost from His fold.
lost from His fold.
How do we FEED HIS SHEEP?
service
encouraging words
a smile
a prayer
a listening ear
fellowship
unconditional love
just by being aware of another's needs.
Yea Lord,
I love thee.
Whom shall I FEED today?
15 ¶So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon,son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?
He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee.
He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee.
He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,
Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things;
thou knowest that I love thee.
Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
