FEED THE SHEEP BIBLE QUEST
LOVEST THOU ME, FEED MY LAMBS BIBLE VERSE MEANING
Greetings, my new friend ... I have chosen to divide the title of this step in two on purpose to show there are two different important parts of what Jesus spoke to Peter. One was a question, "Lovest thou me" and the other a statement, "Feed my lambs" ...
|
John
21:15-17
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.
He saith to him again the second time, 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.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? 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. |
Many wonder why Jesus spoke the words THREE times. Even Peter seemed a little
grieved that Jesus had said it THRICE. Hmmmmmm "Thrice" ... Now, where have I heard that word THRICE before? Oh, yes, I remember now. It was in a story about Peter and Jesus;
|
Matthew 26:75
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice.
And he went out, and wept bitterly. |
FEED THE SHEEP BIBLE BLESSING
LOVEST THOU ME, FEED MY LAMBS BIBLE VERSE EXPLAINED
Perhaps it was a gentle reminder to Peter that he DID deny
Jesus THRICE and to remember these words. Peter DID run off
when the wolves came and this request made three times may
have been a way by which to say that Peter was to stay and
protect the sheep this time. At either rate, Jesus said it
THRICE to reveal the IMPORTANCE of the words ... FEED MY
LAMBS.
Does it mean
that Peter and the Apostles were responsible for making sure
the sheep had food?
|
Matthew
4:4
But he answered and said,
It is
written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. |
No ... The food they were to provide these sheep with was the WORD OF GOD. Who are the sheep that are to be fed this Word of God? The sheep are the children of God. When one feels called to serve God and begins to obey the "feed my lambs" statement from the Lord, one can oft times become overzealous and blinded by pride. This occurred with the Pharisees and it is written that they ended up making it too hard for God's children to enter Heaven by the heavy demands that they placed on them, meanwhile they, themselves were secretly living in sin.
|
Matthew
23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut
up the kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in
yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. |
FEED THE SHEEP BIBLE GIFT
LOVEST THOU ME, FEED MY LAMBS BIBLE VERSE CONCERN We are all
sinners. It may be that a persons sins are different from
the sins of another but how is it that we can judge others'
sins and think for one second that God is not going to judge
us for ours?
|
Matthew
7:1-2
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you again. |
IF and when you
feel called to respond to the "feed my lambs" request by sharing TRUTH with
these precious lost souls and troubled Christians, one
should always keep in mind that these are NOT your children,
they belong to God.
It is not your place to discipline or verbally abuse HIS
children. You are merely a hired servant required to watch
over HIS children. Kind of like a babysitter who has had HIS
children placed in your care. Beware the child crying to the
Father of your verbal abuse and the Father hiring another in
your place.
God is VERY aware that these lost sheep have not been shown
the way to TRUTH as you MAY have been but that does NOT give
you the right to scold them in some vain attempt to uplift
yourself.
It is TRUTH that God does get angry and expresses HIS anger
thru His prophets but I tell you a TRUTH ... It is best to
make sure it is HIM expressing this anger thru you to HIS
child and not just YOU ... Lest the cries of His child enter
into the mind and Heart of their Father. A bear beholding
someone harming it's cubs will be deemed gentle, in
comparison.
Here is wisdom ... When one that has been called finds that
one of HIS children is in need of medicine, one should not
try and force it down their throat with words of anger. You
would not do so to your own child if they were taken by a
plague or sickness. You would try and find the best tasting,
yet EFFECTIVE medicine that you could. You may even play
little airplane games saying "Zoooooom, Zooooooom here comes
the airplane" as you gently slide the spoon of medicine into
the child's mouth. This way, the child WILLINGLY takes the
medicine.
God is well aware of the "handicaps" of His lost children
who have been kidnapped by the enemy and enticed with
worldly trends to stay there. God is also well aware that
YOU are or were one of those souls as well. It may be that
He has shown you the way to TRUTH, but that does not give
you the right to portray yourself as being better than the
child that is still caught up in the worldly web.
|
John 8:7
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at
her. |
FEED THE SHEEP BIBLE PATH
LOVEST THOU ME, FEED MY LAMBS BIBLE VERSE TIPSIt is very sad
that these individuals, who consider themselves to be better
than another of God's children (even though, they know in
their hearts that they were also forgiven of their sins of
the past, and received God's Grace and still sin) and that
these people would find it necessary to judge another, in
some vain attempt to appear to uplift themselves.
It was some self proclaimed religious leaders, back in
Jesus' day, that were constantly following Jesus around
quoting LAW. They became so afraid of losing their high
places, that they devised a plan and had JESUS crucified ...
They used LAWS to do it. They claimed they were doing a God
service.
God Service huh? That's a hoot. God does not seek those who
would condemn His children. God does not seek those who
would keep them encaged by fear and doubt by making the path
to Heaven appear unattainable. God does NOT seek those who
would make His children walk away from the faith feeling
inadequate and unworthy of the GRACE that HE has provided
those souls at such a dear cost.
God seeks those who are sensitive to the needs of HIS
children. God seeks those few UNDERSTANDING shepherds that
know that we all fall short and we all fall down. That the
Christian walk is one very tough path and that we all walk
it together and that fellowship is one of the best tools we
have to help one another. God seeks caring and loving souls
that seek only to HELP the lost souls get home. Those that
seek only to bring in HIS sheep.
|
2 Timothy 2:24-26
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto
all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those
that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may
recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken
captive by him at his will. |
CHOOSE to HEAR what the SPIRIT has just spoken to you.
The Apostle Paul was a fantastic teacher, and that is why
many of his letters are in the New Testament. Timothy was a
student of his and Paul's instructions to Timothy as to how
to reactions to the "feed my lambs" request are very valuable. Check them out and they
will enhance your shepherding.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE LOST?
