Thought provoking, I love this, it reminds me of The Lord telling Peter to, Feed My sheep... I love what Matthew Henry said and how he explains what feeding His sheep means, Three times Christ committed the care of His flock to Peter: Feed My lambs; feed My sheep;...Those whom Christ committed to Peter’s care were His lambs and His sheep...which He purchased with His Own Blood (Acts 20:28), ...He is The Chief Shepherd...some are lambs, young and tender and weak, others are sheep, grown to some strength and maturity...He gathers the lambs in His Arms, and carries them in His bosom. Isa. 40:11...The word used in John 21:15, 17, is boske, which strictly signifies to give them food; but the word used in John 21:16 is poimaine, which signifies more largely to do all the offices of a shepherd to them: “Feed the lambs with that which is proper for them, and the sheep likewise with food convenient. The lost sheep of the house of Israel, seek and feed them, and the other sheep also which are not of this fold.” ...Feed them, that is, teach them; for the doctrine of the gospel is spiritual food. Feed them, that is, “Lead them to the green pastures, presiding in their religious assemblies, and ministering all the ordinances to them. Feed them by personal application to their respective state and case; not only lay meat before them, but feed those with it that are willful and will not, or weak and cannot feed themselves.” When Christ ascended on high... left his flock with those that loved Him, and would take care of them for His sake.... You are soo Wonderful LORD, thank You for Your Love Letter to Your Sheep (-:
