It is interesting that this story is told in the context of a meal—a meal of bread and fish no less, the same food Jesus used to feed the multitudes. Does the context change your understanding of Jesus’ command that Peter “feed my sheep”? If so, how? Do you think Jesus expected Peter to feed people physically or is his command a metaphor for something else? Do you think feeding people is how we can best show that we love Jesus? Why or why not?
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday–a day that people usually celebrate with food. Consider making extra and sharing it with an individual or family who may not have food to celebrate. Or consider inviting someone to your home for Easter dinner. By your act of sharing, be a witness of the feast that is the Kingdom of Heaven.
