Jesus then commissions Peter to feed his sheep, a reminder of the importance of caring for others and being a good shepherd. Finally, Jesus tells Peter that he will die a martyr's death, a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us. This chapter is a powerful reminder of Jesus' love and grace and how he is willing to forgive and restore us no matter how many times we fail him.
