FEEDING THE CHURCH IS EXPENSIVE
John 21:15–17
Fellow believers in Christ Jesus, Jesus' repeated instruction to Peter, “Feed My lambs. Feed My sheep,” reveals His deep concern that believers are nourished with God's Word. While miracles may attract people, only the Word sustains and matures them.
Feeding God's people is costly. It requires prayer, study, consecration, sacrifice, and intimacy with God. Those who minister the Word often labor privately before they can feed others publicly.
Believers should honor those who feed them spiritually through receptivity, obedience, and a sincere response to God's Word. Jesus' reference to both lambs and sheep shows that growth is expected. Every believer should mature and eventually help nourish others.
May we value the ministry of the Word, honor those who teach us, and grow into mature believers who can also feed others for Christ's glory.
Remain Blessed.
