John 21:17
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep"
Jesus asked this of Peter after He asked him the "Do you love me?" questions. Not only was Jesus confirmed Peter's love for Him, He also showed us what the result of our love for Him must be. He does not say whether this is spiritual food, like the Word of God or physical food which implies provision for the poor. Hence we can assume that Jesus means both kinds of food to feed His sheep. This is the result of our being in Christ. It is not about attending ceremonies, traditions or activities. It is primarily concerned with the care of our fellow humans who are also God's children whether they accept it or not.
