Feed my sheep

Why did Jesus tell Peter to “feed my sheep” in John 21? What was Jesus instructing Peter to do when He said “feed my sheep”?

"Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." - John 21:17

Feed My sheep.

He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young. Isaiah 40:11

15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 A second time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” John 21:15-19 NRSVUE #love #tend #sheep #journey

Our failings are not lost on God. From the broken place, we learn to rely on God’s strength rather than our own.
