Lovest Thou Me? Feed My Lambs - Jesus by jesusjnr2020(m): 7:01am On Aug 18, 2020 |
Lovest Thou Me? Feed My Lambs - Jesus John 21:15-17 (KJV) 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. I'm sure Peter would have wondered what was actually going on when Jesus who knew him very well and that he had forsaking everything to follow Him, would still be asking him, "lovest thou me?" And not just once but three good times, because if anyone should know that Peter loved Him it should be Jesus Himself. But Jesus very well knew what He was talking about because His sheep meant everything to Him. That's why He would lay down His life for them as a good Shepherd would. So Jesus already knew that Peter loved Him, but the question was not if Peter loved Him, but how much Peter loved Him. If Peter loved Him to the extent that he would take His sheep as He took them, and love and care for His sheep the way He did, because He had given His all for His sheep, and was going leave them in Peter's care, so it mattered a whole lot to Him that who He was going to leave His sheep with cared for His sheep as He would. If Jesus could yet ask Peter who had proven his love for Him beyond any reasonable doubt, if He loved Him three times, I wonder how many times He would ask most of today's church leaders that same question. Because even the love Peter had for Jesus, most of them do not have, so how much more the love Jesus had for His sheep? Moreover Jesus saying "feed my sheep" to Peter repeatedly on this occasion doesn't mean just giving them food or any kind of food, but the right kind of food, even that which the good Shepherd would feed them with if He were there with them - the kind of food that would lead to eternal life. May God help us with leaders who would care for the sheep as Jesus did, and do everything they could to ensure that they're not lost to the enemy but preserved til the day the good Shepherd returns for His sheep. Amen! 4 Likes |

Skengman:...irrespective of how I sound to you, you should face the topic of discussion. OP is known for preaching many devilish doctrines and now he wants to talk about feeding the sheep. Feeding them with what exactly? That Paul's epistle are in contradiction to Jesus' ? Or. that homosexuality is good? or the frustration of the Holy Spirit. 2 Likes |

CodeTemplar:When Jesus Christ commanded us to feed His sheep and care for His sheep, He meant that we do it LITERALLY. Below is where he gives Peter the command to do righteous works, and this was given right after Jesus Christ Himself had fed them for that morning

Kobojunkie:Stop acting like a morón. Did Jesus own lambs on earth? Maybe next thing you will say Jesus was Fulani. When Jesus said let the dead bury the dead also maybe He wanted only those in the tomb to be involved in burials of people. When the scripture says Paul planted, Apollos watered but God gave the increase maybe he was referring to Paul's cocoa yam plantation somewhere. 2 Likes |

CodeTemplar:Yikes! Um, I meant He was being literal about the feeding and the caring of those He referred to as His sheep. If you had taken time to read on to the passage from Matthew 25, you would have figured out that His sheep are in fact His followers.

CodeTemplar:So, he did command us to literally "feed and care for his sheep"... Meaning the statement "Feed my sheep" is not a metaphor but a direct command to "Feed my sheep"... "Sheep" being the only metaphor contained in the command. Now as to the meaning to the metaphor "sheep", we can easily find that where Jesus Christ in Matthew 25 refers to those who feed and care for the least of these, as His " Sheep" |

Skengman: CodeTemplar:The bolded is a proof that you're a true son of the devil who is the father of all liars. Because you could accuse me without having to say such malicious lies against me. When did I who have made countless of threads here against that very grievous sin in the sight of God, say that homosexuality was a good thing? Why not provide just one instance of that to proof you're not demonically influenced? That's one of the reasons muttleylaff the NL homosexual champion who has clearly shown himself to have engaged in the abominable act in the past or is still doing so has launched ceaseless assaults on my person. It's obvious you know it's a lie, but anything even such a blatant lie to get back at someone who speaks against mammon the god whom you serve would suffice. |

You just badly needed some creepy and unhealthy attention, at the cost of derailing the thread by introducing an off-topic and for reasons best known to you, go all out, slandering me with your nonfactual comments.

MuttleyLaff:Lol! Obviously you have no iota of shame if after all you claim about me, you still chasing after me as though you couldn't breathe without me. I have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that you're a worthless and base fellow who's not worth my attention by the way I've completely ignored your open display of your foolishness and stupidity times without number on this forum. Even when I returned I never for once even with the other moniker quoted you or mentioned you to prove that you're as good as non-existent to me. But you've obviously proven that you're actually the one that needs help...you just couldn't stay away from me for long. Is it an obsession or maybe that's how you gays keep chasing after your fellow men even though they would have absolutely nothing to do with your kind, thinking that one day you would eventually succeed in committing the abominable act with them? Well know for a fact that before such a greivous sin could possibly happen, one of us would be dead because it's over my dead body. You must have been completely fooled to think that those of us who believed your stupidity was not worth dignifying with a response were feeble because we chose to ignore you. If anything you should respect us for showing this extent of tolerance of your display of stupidity and foolishness for so long. |
