After Peter had denied Jesus, he had gone Delete text and place photo here. back to his old profession, fishing. Jesus meets him and asks him three times if he, Peter, loves Him. Jesus three responses is all important! His first response to Peter is, tend my lambs. His second response is, shepherd my sheep. And finally, tend my sheep. This is the progressive stage of nurturing that we must follow. First we nurture the young ones (lambs), then we give them food for growth (feed), and when they are grown we continue to nurture (tend) them. Just because you are an adult, does not mean you know everything! Continue to be open to the nurturing of your faith. God Bless! Pastor Tony Sands
