What does it mean to feed the sheep and lambs?

Answered in 1 source

Feeding the sheep and lambs refers to nurturing and teaching God's people.

When Jesus commands Peter to 'feed my lambs' and 'feed my sheep' in John 21:15-17, He is entrusting him with the pastoral responsibility of caring for the church. This involves teaching, guiding, and caring for both the spiritually weak (the lambs) and the mature believers (the sheep). It signifies the importance of spiritual leadership and the obligation of Christian leaders to minister to the flock of God, ensuring their growth and protection in the faith.
