Feed My Sheep by artist Kathryn Fincher.

 

"Throughout the Bible, Jesus is described as the shepherd who nurtures, protects, and cares for his flock. This message is reflected through one of the stained glass windows in our church as it portrays Jesus as the Good Shepherd, holding and protecting his lambs and sheep. The title that I chose for this painting can be found in John 21:15-17, describing an intimate meeting between Simon Peter and Jesus. After the crucifixion and before His Ascension into heaven, Jesus provided Simon Peter’s needs by miraculously filling his nets with fish, then personally preparing, cooking, and feeding him. As they sat around the fire eating, Jesus’ final instructions were that Peter should do the same… “Feed my lambs… take care of my sheep… feed my sheep.” - Kathryn Fincher.
