What is the significance of Christ feeding His disciples?

Answered in 1 source

Christ feeding His disciples signifies His care for their spiritual and physical needs.

In John 21, after the disciples toil all night and catch nothing, Christ provides for them by preparing a meal. This act demonstrates His compassion and care for their needs, not just during times of abundance but also in their failures and struggles. It serves as a reminder that Christ, as the Good Shepherd, sustains His people both physically and spiritually. Furthermore, this feeding emphasizes the importance of relying on Christ for nourishment and the necessity for preachers to be spiritually fed before they can feed others. The gathering around the meal illustrates community and fellowship among believers, which is an essential aspect of life in the body of Christ. This invitation to 'Come and dine' extends to all who seek Him, affirming His role as our sustainer.
