How does Peter's love for Jesus manifest in his ministry?

Answered in 1 source

Peter's love for Jesus manifests through his call to minister and care for others, as instructed by Jesus.

Peter’s love for Jesus is evidenced in his obedience to Christ’s command to 'Feed my lambs' and 'Feed my sheep.' After being restored, Peter takes up the role of a shepherd, showing that a genuine love for Christ translates into a ministry that serves others. This service is characterized by humility and a desire to lead others in their faith, as seen in 1 Peter 5:2, where Peter exhorts fellow elders to care for God’s people willingly. His transformation from a denier to a shepherd illustrates the profound change that love can bring in a believer’s life.
