Throughout the Bible, Jesus is described as the shepherd who
nurtures, protects, and cares for his flock. This message is reflected
through one of the stained glass windows in our church as it portrays
Jesus as the Good Shepherd, holding and protecting his lambs and sheep.
The title that I chose for this painting can be found in John 21:15-17,
describing an intimate meeting between Simon Peter and Jesus. After the
crucifixion and before His Ascension into heaven, Jesus provided Simon
Peter’s needs by miraculously filling his nets with fish, then
personally preparing, cooking, and feeding him. As they sat around the
fire eating, Jesus’ final instructions were that Peter should do the
same… “Feed my lambs… take care of my sheep… feed my sheep.” --Kathryn
