Feed My Sheep:
After His resurrection, Jesus spoke plainly to Peter and said, “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?” and when Peter answered, Jesus replied, “Feed my sheep” John 21:15 through 17. That command was not poetic or symbolic. It was a charge.
Scripture is clear that God’s people live by His Word alone. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” Matthew 4:4. Sheep are not fed by opinions, trends, or emotional speeches, but by truth rightly divided 2 Timothy 2:15.
Those who teach will be held to a stricter judgment James 3:1, and shepherds are accountable for the souls entrusted to them Hebrews 13:17. God condemns leaders who fail to feed His flock. “Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?” Ezekiel 34:2.
To feed Christ’s sheep is to declare the whole counsel of God Acts 20:27 with patience and endurance 2 Timothy 4:2, not seeking applause but faithfulness. Love for Christ is proven by obedience John 14:15. And obedience here is clear. Feed His sheep.
